The seminal vesicles (SVs) have long been recognized for their role in male fertility, yet their contribution to male sexual function is often underestimated. In recent decades, studies have gradually unveiled an association between SVs and various male sexual dysfunctions (SDs), including diminished libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and orgasmic disorder. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of publications up until April 2024 in PubMed, Google Scholar, and CNKI, focusing on original studies, case reports, and reviews addressing the relationship between SVs and male SDs. The aim was to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical evaluation, and management of this relationship, providing urologists and andrologists with new insights into diagnosing and treating complex male SDs. Current research suggests that SVs may play a role in male sexual function, but the evidence remains limited. Future large-scale, rigorously designed studies are needed to further validate this relationship.
精囊长期以来因其在男性生育中的作用而被认可，但其对男性性功能的贡献常常被低估。近几十年来，研究逐渐揭示了精囊与各种男性性功能障碍（SDs）之间的关联，包括性欲减退、勃起功能障碍、早泄、射精延迟和性高潮障碍。我们在PubMed、谷歌学术和中国知网进行了全面的文献检索，涵盖截至2024年4月的出版物，重点关注关于精囊与男性性功能障碍关系的原始研究、病例报告和综述。目的是探讨这种关系的病理生理机制、临床评估和管理，为泌尿科医生和男科医生诊断和治疗复杂的男性性功能障碍提供新的见解。目前的研究表明精囊可能在男性性功能中发挥作用，但证据仍然有限。未来需要大规模、设计严谨的研究来进一步验证这种关系。
