The seminal vesicles are two glandular structures located behind the bladder. Despite their relatively small size, they contribute a substantial portion of the fluid contained in semen.
These glands produce a nutrient-rich secretion containing fructose, proteins, and enzymes. Fructose serves as an energy source for sperm cells, supporting their motility as they travel through the female reproductive tract.
During ejaculation, the seminal vesicles contract and release their fluid into the ejaculatory ducts, where it mixes with sperm and prostatic fluid to form semen.
Inflammation or infection of these glands may occur in association with Prostatitis or other reproductive tract infections. Such conditions may lead to pelvic discomfort, painful ejaculation, or fertility problems.
Because the seminal vesicles play a major role in semen composition, abnormalities affecting these glands may significantly erotic influence reproductive capability.
