Fonction
En bref
Votre fertilité et fécondation naturelle
- Elle produit… un liquide prostatique riche en enzymes, protéines et minéraux qui nourrit et protège vos spermatozoïdes
- Elle fabrique… une protéine (APS) qui sert à liquéfier votre sperme afin de faciliter la mobilité des vos spermatozoïdes
- Elle permet… l’éjaculation en se contractant
- Elle favorise… la fécondité de par ses enzymes facilitant la pénétration des spermatozoïdes à travers le col utérin
- Elle ne participe pas au mécanisme de l’érection. Par conséquent, l’origine du dysfonctionnement érectile se situe ailleurs
Plus en détails
Fonction exocrine
La prostate se compose de milliers de minuscules glandes. Plus particulièrement, la prostate est une glande exocrine. Les glandes exocrines portent ce nom parce qu’elles sécrètent des liquides qui transitent par des canaux débouchant vers l’extérieur du corps (ou dans une cavité qui communique avec l’extérieur). Les glandes sudoripares constituent un autre exemple de glandes exocrines.
Le liquide produit par la prostate s’intègre au sperme, c’est-à-dire au liquide séminal qui transporte les spermatozoïdes pendant l’éjaculation. Le liquide élaboré dans la prostate est conservé avec le sperme dans les vésicules séminales. À l’orgasme, des contractions musculaires amènent la prostate à sécréter ce liquide dans l’urètre, d’où il est expulsé du corps par l’intermédiaire du pénis.
Écoulement de l’urine
La prostate entoure l’urètre dans son trajet de la vessie au pénis. Les changements au niveau de la prostate (voir l’HBP) peuvent avoir des répercussions sur l’écoulement de l’urine. En effet, l’augmentation de la taille de la prostate ou de son tonus musculaire peut entraver l’écoulement de l’urine, de par l’intime relation anatomique qui existe entre l’urètre et la prostate.
Antigène prostatique spécifique (APS)
De plus, la prostate produit une protéine appelée antigène prostatique spécifique (APS) (les acronymes ASP et PSA sont aussi utilisés pour désigner l’antigène prostatique spécifique). L’APS est libéré avec l’éjaculation et se retrouve aussi dans le sang. L’analyse des concentrations d’APS dans le sang sert à déceler le cancer de la prostate. Il se mesure en nanogrammes par millilitre.
Un taux élevé d’APS
Habituellement, on juge normal un taux d’APS qui affiche moins de 4 nanogrammes par millilitre de sang, mais l’âge doit être prit en considération aussi, l’APS augmentant graduellement de façon normale avec l’âge. Une élévation de la concentration d’APS peut indiquer la présence:
- d’une hypertrophie bénigne de la prostate
- d’une prostatite: une infection de la prostate
- d’un cancer de la prostate
Votre spécialiste vous fera passer les tests appropriés pour déterminer la cause exacte de l’augmentation de votre taux d’APS.
