Abstract
This article analyzed the relationship between sexual activity and the structural and functional state of the prostate gland. The biomechanism of hormonal effects during sexual activity was evaluated. The influence of hormones on the functioning of the prostate gland was analyzed. It has been established that constant sexual activity in moderate amounts reduces the risk of developing prostate diseases and is an important method of prevention. To correct copulative function disorders in diseases of the prostate gland, it is advisable to use prostatic peptides that have an organotropic effect.
