This video shows bilateral enlargement of seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles are paired accessory sex glands of the male reproductive system. The seminal vesicle produces over two-thirds of the ejaculate and is very high in fructose.
Each seminal vesicle spans approximately 5 cm, though its full unfolded length is approximately 10 cm, but it is curled up inside the gland's structure.
Seminal vesiculitis is an uncommon entity characterized by inflammation of the seminal vesicles. It is most commonly infective in etiology and often associated with concurrent infection elsewhere in the male genital tract, forming part of the spectrum of male accessory gland inflammation.
Malformation of the distal mesonephric duct leads to atresia of ejaculatory duct, which eventually results in cystic enlargement of seminal vesicles. However, chronic infection of a seminal vesicle cyst is thought to be caused by inflammatory obstruction within the seminal vesicles.
Semen, also called seminal fluid, fluid that is emitted from the male reproductive tract and that contains sperm cells, which are capable of fertilizing the female eggs. Semen also contains other liquids, known as seminal plasma, which help to keep the sperm cells viable.
Seminal vesicles release up to 60% of the fluid found in semen. The other 40% is produced by the prostate and bulbourethral glands. The fluid produced by seminal vesicles will contain several key components: Fructose: which is a sugar that is produced to provide energy for swimming sperm cells.
