The small gland is the small gland of approximately the size of the peas that is part of the male reproductive system. The urethra are attached to two bulburethral glands and are placed behind it with one side. The bulbourethral gland is also known as Cowper's gland in honor of the English surgeon and anatomist William Cowper, who provided his first descriptions, the packaging gland. The secretion of the exocrine glands are eventually transported from the body. In the case of bulbouretral glands, such secretions leave the body through the urethra. Before ejaculation, it is then excreted from the body by the urethra. While Cowper's liquid itself does not contain sperm, semen can be present in pre-jaculation fluid from other sources, such as residual sperm of pricing ejaculation. Therefore, healthcare professionals are commonly recommended that the use of the withdrawal as a method of pregnancy prevention, even if the collection is completed before ejaculation.
The draining of Cowper's fluid with the bulburateter gland helps to wash away any remnants of the urethra before sexual intercourse. Its relative alkaline helps neutralize any residual acidity in the urethra of urine and naturally acidic vagina environment. This helps to create a more hospitable environment contributes to the survival of sperm that increases the chance of reproduction. Cowper's liquid contributes to the lubrication of the penis and vagina during sexual activity. It also plays a role in sperm coagulation a few seconds after ejaculation from the penis.
There is little known about the bolbourethral gland disorders. Cowper's channel cysts are among the most experienced problems. While Cowper's channel cysts are relatively rare, they are more common in adolescent men than adults. They are considered to be relatively benign urological abnormalities, but can cause symptoms such as reduced urine flow and bloody discharge from the urethra. Surgery may be prescribed to ensure relief from theseon symptoms.
The high volume of pre-jaculation fluid is usually not considered a medical disorder, as the amount of such fluid differs from individual to individual. Some men, especially adolescents and young adult men and those who do not regularly deal with sexual activity, can consider the amount of fluid produced as uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing. Medical treatment is usually not prescribed for this condition, but hormonal therapy may be prescribed in the most extreme cases.
