COMMON MEN VS UROLOGISTS | MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT HUMAN ANATOMY AND FACTS

A few people either do not know about men anatomy or pretend to. So they comment ignorantly or jokingly about female and male human anatomy. Sometimes people also start believing these comments as true. Here is a write-up about such incorrect concepts concerning urology which have been clarified and elaborated on by a urologist for men. You are requested please to read the following misconceptions and their clarifications a little bit humorously. 

The first comment refers to "there are three methods of passing urine: a sprinkler, a wetter, and a jet stream". Indeed, people study in medical science the methods of urinating to assess or diagnose a patient’s condition especially when he goes to see a physician. In case you have a problem with passing urine, you may be subjected to a test called uroflowmetry. Uroflowmetry, also known as a uroflow test, analyses the flow and force of your urine stream while you're urinating. It is a simple, painless urine test used to diagnose symptoms such as urinary incontinence or discomfort during urination. A small gadget is used to accomplish this test. There is a can at the top of this gadget into which the patient urinates. The gadget detects how quickly the can is filled with urine. The quantity of urine in the can is measured by time which allows for creating a graph of the quantity of urine versus time. There are generally three types of graphs indicating the flow of urine. The first one is known as a graph of a bell curve. It demonstrates typical urination, wherein it begins gradually, then quickens up, and finally stops with a sluggish stream. The next is a plateau curve graph of urine flow.  (@ chhanno blogspot com 13012022) 

This curve indicates a uniform stream during urinating from start to end and suggests a hindrance in the flow of urine stream due to some issue, or the bladder muscles are not fully capable to squeeze and void the bladder. Although it's not evident what may be the actual cause, surely there is some issue over there. 

A staccato graph is another type of graph we could encounter occasionally. It fluctuates from higher to lower points in the graph repeatedly and this might be due to a bladder issue or a blockage in the urethra causing slow urine flow, or maybe you are repeatedly pressing pelvic muscles and causing short bursts of the urine stream. All of these signs point to a problem with your urinary tract, which is required to be investigated. It might be due to an obstruction, a prostate enlargement, or something wrong with the bladder functions. 

The second comment says; "The prostate is situated in the knee as it is the highest degree sign of prostate cancer". A man’s ketch clutching his knee was shown in support". For many people, this gland is a somewhat perplexing organ. Dr. Mike prepared a film on this organ. He enquired several passersby on the road whether they have any information about this organ called the prostate and where it located is, what its functions are etc. A vast proportion of individuals were unaware. So here are some facts concerning this specific organ called the prostate. Well, its size is equal to walnut and it also resembles a walnut in shape. It is located just below the bladder where the urethra starts and there it encircles the urethra which means that the urethra passes through it. You may be well aware of the urethra which is a tube through which we urinate. It’s a male organ with a specific purpose. Many individuals sometimes think that their prostate has gone bigger thus creating urinary issues or cancer; however, the prostate does fulfill several specified duties. It truly produces a liquid that is expelled during ejaculation. It accounts for roughly thirty percent of the liquid that is expelled during one ejaculation. This liquid, which comprises a few enzymes, citric acid, or zinc, facilitates sperm movement. It aids in the survival of sperms in a variety of unusual environments, particularly at the moment it makes an entrance to the uterus and beyond in a female. The nature of the genital organs of a female is somewhat acid based while the properties of semen or male emission are either an alkali or a base. As a result, that environment is not harmful to the sperm. Moreover, the prostate produces an enzyme, which is an antigen that is specific to the prostate only, and it dilutes the sperm due to which it may go more easily and fast through the uterus or the ovary of females, such as the ovum, to get the female pregnant when necessary. At the time of male discharge, the prostate gland squeezes and it not only expels seminal liquid out rapidly but at the same time it stops the flow of urine to come out of the bladder and mix up with the semen which might be harmful to the sperm. 

The third comment is; "Penile length can be expanded by eating dates and bananas". Let's check if it is true or false. Generally, when you are a fully grown-up man your penile size seldom varies. Several factors play their role to contribute keep the penile size constant. For example, having a typically erect penis in the morning time after waking up has a role to keep penile size unchanged. Similarly, continuous and healthy blood streams in the penile veins can help avoid its shrinking. Thus, nothing can transform it larger. Those who say that these fruits are beneficial receive their motivation from Google, which claims that dates are good for your health and sexual well-being. Actually, according to medical papers, people have done surveys on date palm powder to assess its influence on sexual performance both in humans and animals. They conducted a few modest clinical trials on humans. They investigated 25 infertile guys who could not have a conception for a full year. These guys took 500 mg of date palm powder daily divided into two doses and then analyzed it for any improvement. It was observed that the sperm qualities, testosterone levels, and libido all showed considerable improvement. It may have boosted the conceivability of these guys, but their live birth rates or their amount of libido change was not analyzed and then it was discovered that they had got an improved libido out of nowhere. In actuality, it's a short research and the participant males were apparently in good health and were evaluated and believed to have everything OK. There are also no large-scale statistics available for analyzing whether it genuinely benefits those who take it regularly. Nonetheless, if you enjoy dates, you are welcome to consume them. So far as powdered dates palm is concerned it may be beneficial, however, you must ensure that it is obtained from a reputable source because there are no laws governing supplements available in stores without a prescription. 

The next fruit commented upon was bananas. It was commented that “bananas make a healthy heart, and that a healthy heart leads to enhance penile size”. The reality is that a healthy heart is extremely essential to run a healthy life. Most significantly, having physically fit with excellent body weight, it’s most likely that the fat on your tummy and pubic area is lesser making your penis appear comparatively much larger than it is in reality. Contrary to that if you are obese, more fat will be there in the male human body and pubic area, and thereby the penis below will appear to be smaller in size. Another explanation for this may be that when you have a healthy heart you may be eating too many fresh and organic foods, and you may be refraining from eating processed foods and fatty meats and a variety of other such eatables which may be responsible for your fitness and well-being. All shortcomings in these factors influence disorders such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and heart problems as well as alterations in angiography or erection ability. In case the erections do not remain the same as previously said, you may have some penis shortening. Maintaining usual erections and experiencing nighttime or morning time erection is an indication that helps maintain or keep a constant penile size and length. Thus, having a problem-free heart is usually significant for penile functions. 

There are three more different fruits that people point out to be beneficial to sexual well-being. One fascinating fruit was the watermelon. It contains an amino acid known as Citrulline that changes to Arginine or explicitly L-Arginine which enhances a compound called Nitric Oxide which is essential for penile erection. In reality, an erection cannot be obtained without it. Watermelon appears to assist it hypothetically, but there aren’t enough individual surveys to back it up. However, one thing is clear, it significantly enhances Arginine. A study was done on adults and the participants in this study were segregated into two categories. One was asked to drink 3 cups juice of watermelon daily while the second category was asked to drink 6 cups of juice. After three weeks of taking this juice, it was observed that the level of their Arginine has increased by 12 % for category-one participants and 22 % for the second-category participants. Thus, without a question, it could enhance Nitric Oxide, but it's unclear whether it would also help with further enhancing one's sexual abilities or erections. (@ chhanno blogspot com 13012022) 

Pomegranate is included in the list as well. It contains anti-oxidative agents that increase the absorption of Nitric Oxide. Again, while it may potentially play its role to improve erections, certain research surveys have shown that it does not. As a result, pomegranate may not be as effective as considered. 

The final fruit is called the avocado. It contains a particular fat molecule. It can help with infertility or improve sperm parameters. Avocado may be effective in improving sperm qualities if you are experiencing reproductive concerns. There isn't much research on this topic, but if an avocado is your favorite, you could find it useful. 

"Passing urine shrinks it, so, despite not giving up coffee, how can I keep a large one?" said another comment. This comment was posted in a topic captioned "avoid foolish queries," thus we saw no foolish queries in that thread!!! Whoever made this statement was either trying to be funny or thinking that because coffee increases the quantity of pee, it may enhance penile size. Here it just requires some clarification and it is that urine is produced in the organs called kidneys which are located on the left and right flanks of the back spine below the ribs. They separate urine from the blood. The urine then goes into the bladder via the ureters, which are two small tubes used to empty the kidneys. Men urine doesn’t increase the size of the penis or make it larger. In actuality, coffee has nothing to do with increasing the size of your penis. It’s the bladder that keeps or stores urine. When it is full or when we need to pee, certain muscles called sphincter in the bladder loosens, contracting the bladder and the urine is allowed to enter and travel through the urethra which is a tube inside the penis used to expel the urine out of the body. Thus, drinking coffee has nothing to do with the increase or decrease in penile length. Therefore, do what you like and don’t do what you dislike so far as drinking coffee is concerned but don't be concerned about your penile length. It will retain its current size. 

Well, then. "Unrealistic (penis) body norms;" states the last comment 
(1). Extra short = less than 6" 
(2). Small = up to 6" in size 
(3). Medium (6" to 7") 
(4). Large = 7" to 8" in size 
(5). Cup = Mashed 
(6). "Extra big" means 9" or more." ….

It is just a humorous comment; however, the factual position is that an average size in an erect position is not less than 5” and not more than 6” and this measurement is taken in fully stretched condition up to the tip. However, this measurement depends on different races. In some races, it is 3.5 inches while in some further races, this length is equal to 6.5 inches. So there are some stupid preconceptions about males. Many guys may be uncomfortable knowing this fact however it should not be. You might have quite a normal type size if you are satisfied with your performance.

Alright readers, God bless you. Take care everywhere and always.
