1, male sperm quality standard
1, male semen color
Normal semen is grayish white or milky white. If abstinence lasts for a long time, it can be light yellow. If it is pink or red, it is mostly because of urethral inflammation, tuberculosis or tumor.
2. Male semen volume
Normal ≥2ml. More than 7ml is too much, not only the sperm density decreases, but also it is easy to flow out from female private parts, resulting in a decrease in the total number of sperm, which is common in seminal vesiculitis; Less than 2ml means too little semen, but usually less than 1ml means too little semen. At this time, the contact area between semen and female reproductive tract is small, or because of its viscosity, it is not conducive to sperm entering the woman's cervix, leading to infertility, which is common in severe accessory gland inflammation, low testosterone level, ejaculatory duct obstruction, retrograde ejaculation and so on.
3. Male sperm density
Refers to the number of sperm per milliliter of semen. The sperm count per milliliter of semen of normal men should be above 20× 106. If the sperm density is lower than this value, it belongs to oligozoospermia, which will affect fertility. However, if the sperm density is higher than 50× 106/ml, too many sperm will affect their motility and lead to infertility.
4, male sperm liquefaction time
Normal semen is jelly-like at first and can liquefy itself after 30 minutes. If it is "rice soup-like" after injection, it is more common in inflammation. If it cannot be liquefied for a long time, it is more common in prostatitis, which can affect fertility.
5, sperm count
Generally expressed by the number of sperm per milliliter of semen. Normal count ≥20× 106/ml. Below this value, there are too few sperm, which can be seen in the dysfunction of spermatogenesis caused by various reasons, and may lead to low fertility or infertility due to the decrease of the chance of sperm entering the uterine cavity and fallopian tube. If the sperm count is more than 250× 106/ml, it means that there are too many sperm, and their motility can also lead to infertility.
2. Factors affecting sperm quality
One is afraid of cigarettes and alcohol.
Smoking and drinking are the enemy of sperm. Some men are very sensitive to the toxins in cigarettes. Nicotine in cigarettes can kill sperm. If adult men smoke 30 cigarettes a day, the sperm survival rate is only 40%, and the sperm deformity rate increases. It can be seen that long-term heavy smoking is one of the important factors leading to infertility. Excessive drinking will not only lead to the decline of gonadal function, but also make the chromosomes in sperm abnormal, which will lead to fetal malformation or dysplasia. So teenagers should form the habit of staying away from alcohol and tobacco. As an adult, even if you don't quit smoking and drinking, you should be careful not to overdo it.
Second, I am afraid of "hunger"
Sperm growth needs nutrition supply. Some men are monotonous in diet, partial to food, picky eaters, and do not like animal foods (such as meat, eggs, fish and dairy products). ). Over time, the zinc content in the body can be reduced. Trace element zinc is known as "harmony between husband and wife", which reduces the number of sperm by 30% ~ 40% and even makes people lose their fertility.
Three fears of "heat"
The process of sperm growth needs low temperature, otherwise sperm will die prematurely. Keep this physiological state, when the temperature is too high, expand the heat dissipation area, and when it is cold, it will wrinkle and reduce the heat dissipation area, thus keeping the scrotum temperature lower than the abdominal cavity temperature. If men have a hobby of taking a hot bath, it will reduce the number of sperm and lead to infertility.
3. What should I do if sperm motility is low?
Sperm is an important carrier of genetic information for the next generation of men. For men who want to have children, the low sperm motility is really a big blow. So, what should I do if I am unfortunately suffering from this disease? How to improve sperm motility? Here are some ways to tell you how to deal with low sperm motility!
1, quit smoking alcohol, strong tea and other stimulating drinks and foods. In particular, patients should remember to avoid the influence of bad factors, such as tights, jeans, sauna, steam bath and so on.
2. Restrain sexual intercourse, prohibit sexual indulgence, pay attention to personal hygiene, pay special attention to the hygiene of external genitals, and avoid contact with bad factors, such as unclean sex.
3. Eat foods containing magnesium to improve sperm motility. Magnesium helps to regulate human heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease and improve male fertility.
4. Eat more foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, shrimps and clams. Zinc plays an important role in maintaining the reproductive function of male political parties. Because zinc is an essential substance for sperm metabolism, it can enhance sperm motility.
5, enhance confidence, adhere to the doctor's advice to take medicine, not intermittent.
4. How to self-test sperm quality
1. Observe sperm quality.
Healthy sperm are basically grayish white and yellow. If the color changes and it is yellow, then there may be some inflammation. If it is red, there should be blood in semen, and there may be urethral inflammation.
If there is yellowing phenomenon, and it is a short-term yellowing phenomenon, it may be because the interval between sperm discharge is long and the abstinence time is long.
2. Observe the number of sperm
Normal male sperm count is higher than 2ml. If your sperm count fails to reach 2ml, it will lead to oligospermia, which will lead to male infertility.
3. Observe the viscosity of sperm
Gently lift semen with a glass rod. If the sperm is more than two centimeters, it means that the semen is normal, otherwise it means that the semen is abnormal.
4. Observe whether semen is liquefied.
Under normal circumstances, after sperm injection, it will become jelly-like under the action of coagulase, and after a period of time, it will liquefy under the action of prostate liquefaction enzyme. If this does not happen in semen, it means that sperm is abnormal.
If you find any problems in the home inspection, you should go to the hospital for a detailed inspection immediately.
