Normal male sperm color, semen volume, pH, smell and so on have their own normal standards. Therefore, only when men know what normal male sperm is can they better find out the problems in their semen.
How to judge whether male sperm is healthy?
1. color: normally grayish white, but it can be light yellow, milky white or slightly green when it is not ejaculated for a long time. Visible in genital tract or accessory gonad infection; Semen redness (hemospermia) can be seen in seminal vesiculitis, cancer and tuberculosis.
2. Semen volume: 2~5m 1 of normal semen at a time. If it is less than 1m 1, it is abnormal. Every ejaculation (0.5ml) is oligozoospermia, and if there is no semen, it is azoospermia. Azoospermia and oligozoospermia are the main causes of male infertility. Can be seen in prostate or seminal vesicle lesions, congenital ureteral occlusion or inflammatory stenosis, or retrograde ejaculation.
3.pH value: normal, weakly alkaline. If the pH value is between 7.7 and 8.5, the high pH value of semen may affect the activity and metabolism of sperm, which is the main cause of sperm death (azoospermia).
4. Smell: Normal semen has a special fishy smell, which is emitted by prostatic fluid. This fishy smell comes from some component of prostatic fluid.
5. Sperm count: Men with normal fertility contain 0.6 ~/kloc-0.5 billion sperm per milliliter, sometimes up to 200 million. The total number of sperm discharged in a single sperm discharge is more than 300 million, but the sperm content varies from person to person, even if the same person is at different times. Therefore, the diagnostic value of calculating the total number of sperm discharged each time is more meaningful than checking the number of sperm alone.
High sperm density (more than 250 million sperm per milliliter) is called excessive sperm, which often affects sperm activity. Even if you are pregnant, it is easy to miscarry. The main reason is that the quality of sperm itself is not high.
6. Viscosity: Normal fresh semen is a liquid, which quickly turns into a viscous peptone-like semi-fluid after being discharged, and then turns into a liquid after 5-30 minutes. If there is no liquefaction after 30 minutes, it is abnormal. It can be seen that some enzymes secreted by prostate are deficient or insufficient, which can also be seen in reproductive tuberculosis and will also affect fertility.
