Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma.
It is the liquid discharged from the urethra when men reach climax during sexual life.
Of course, the most important point is that the sperm in the semen can combine with the female egg and be used to reproduce offspring.
The quality of semen can be said to be one of the indicators of male fertility.
As competition in becomes increasingly fierce, men's psychological pressure increases, and the pollution of the living environment becomes more and more serious, which will have varying degrees of impact on men's reproductive health. The quality of semen can also change unconsciously. 01 Appearance We can observe whether the semen is healthy from the color of the semen. The semen just discharged by a normal person is gray-white or milky white, opaque, and will become translucent after being left for a while. For example, if you haven't ejaculated for a long time, your semen will be a little light yellow. But for yellow or brown purulent semen, it is generally seen in seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis . If it is bright red or dark red, it may be seen in the seminal vesicle glands or prostate inflammation, or it may be caused by stones. 02 When measuring , it is recommended to abstain from sex for about 2-7 days before the measurement is more accurate. Generally speaking, the amount of semen emitted by a normal person at one time is about 2-6ml, which is almost as much as a mineral water bottle cap. So if the semen volume is less than 1.5ml, in addition to lack of abstinence, it may be caused by insufficient androgen secretion or accessory gonad infection. 03 Liquefaction time After normal people’s semen is discharged, it will soon become jelly-like, which is the coagulation of semen. The time required for semen to change from jelly to flowing liquid is called semen liquefaction time. Generally it will gradually liquefy within 5-30 minutes. If the semen does not liquefy for more than an hour, it is called tardy liquefaction of semen.
Here are a few ways to self-judge whether the semen meets the standard for your reference. It is recommended to go to the hospital for routine semen examination to clarify whether the real semen meets the standard.
