[Audio] Definition : The male reproductive system includes the external genitals (the penis, testes and the scrotum) and internal parts, including the prostate gland, vas deferens and urethra. Your fertility and sexual traits depend on the normal functioning of your reproductive system, as well as hormones released from the brain..
[Audio] Function : Testes: These two oval-shaped glands located within the scrotum are responsible for producing sperm and testosterone, the male sex hormone. Scrotum: This sac-like pouch of skin protects the testes and helps regulate their temperature. Sperm production requires a cooler temperature than the rest of the body. Epididymis: A coiled tube located on the back of each testis. It stores and matures sperm cells as they develop. Vas deferens: These tubes carry mature sperm from the epididymis to the urethra. Seminal vesicles: These glands located near the base of the bladder produce a fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. Prostate Gland*: A small gland located just below the bladder in men, it surrounds the urethra and contributes additional fluid to the semen, which helps nourish and transport sperm. *Penis*: The male reproductive organ that serves as a conduit for urine to leave the body and also delivers sperm into the female reproductive tract during intercourse. It consists of the root, body, and glans. *Urethra*: A tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. In males, it also carries semen during ejaculation. The male urethra runs through the penis.

[Audio] Disease Many diseases and conditions can affect the male reproductive system, including: Erectile dysfunction (ED): The inability to get or maintain an erection Infertility: The inability to achieve pregnancy due to low sperm count, blockages, or other factors Prostate disease: Includes benign prostate enlargement (BPH) and prostate cancer Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital warts, herpes genitalis, and herpes simplex Testicular cancer: Can be caused by an increased risk of testicular cancer Epididymitis: An inflammation of the epididymis, a coiled tube at the back of the testicle, that can cause a swollen, discolored, or warm scrotum, and testicle pain Priapism: A prolonged erection that can damage reproductive organs and lead to infertility.
[Audio] Prevention There are many ways to prevent disease in the reproductive system, including: Hygiene Wash your genitals daily with a natural wash that doesn't contain soap, and wipe from front to back. You can also change your clothes often, avoid using other people's towels, and wear cotton underwear. Vaccinations Get vaccinated against certain viruses, like HPV, to reduce the risk of viral reproductive tract infections (RTIs). Condoms Use a latex or polyurethane condom every time you have vaginal, oral, or anal sex to reduce the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Other healthy habits Eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and get enough sleep. You can also avoid using tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs, and manage stress in healthy ways.
