What color is normal sperm?
Routine semen examination is the most basic and important clinical index to judge male fertility. It takes 3 months for sperm to grow and mature. Sperm begins to develop from spermatogonia, passes through low-level sperm cells, secondary sperm cells and sperm cells, and finally forms sperm. This process takes more than 70 days, and then it is stored in the epididymis. It takes several days for the epididymis to gain energy.
The increase of life pressure and age leads to the decline of male semen quality. In addition, bad living habits also have a great influence on the growth and maturation of sperm, such as smoking, drinking, often eating irritating food, high-temperature sauna, wearing tight jeans, staying up late and so on.
The normal color of male sperm in reproductive period is grayish white or yellowish. If abstinence lasts for a long time, the color will turn yellow due to changes in physical and chemical properties, which is normal. Those who do not ejaculate for a long time have darker semen color. The semen of the elderly is mostly dark yellow. After about 10-20 minutes, the clot liquefies itself and becomes translucent, turbid and thin mucus. If the semen is milky white or yellow-green, or even yellow with blood, this indicates that there is inflammation in the reproductive tract, which is likely to be purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicle, which may cause male infertility. This situation should be treated in time.
