Do men need to protect their semen through abstinence? Doctor: After abstinence, semen will still be excreted
Post Date September, 24 2023
Firstly, understand the composition of semen from a scientific perspective.
During ejaculation, the highly concentrated sperm suspension in the testis and the secretion of the accessory glands (prostate, seminal vesicle, Bulbourethral gland gland, etc.) are mixed and diluted into semen. The secretion of the accessory glands accounts for about 90% of the semen, mainly from the secretion of the prostate and seminal vesicles. From the perspective of composition, in addition to sperm, 90% of semen is seminal plasma. The composition of seminal plasma is similar to plasma, mainly composed of water, with small amounts of protein, trace elements, etc., which are easily replenished through metabolism. Therefore, generally speaking, ejaculation does not cause damage to the body.
Semen is mainly composed of fluids secreted by various accessory gonads, and generally has no fixed amount. Currently, the World Health Organization stipulates that the amount of semen exceeds 1.5ML. Too little semen may be due to incomplete Retrograde ejaculation (semen is injected backward into the bladder), insufficient androgen, poor development of seminal vesicles, and blockage of Ejaculatory duct.
Some men abstain from sex to protect semen, which is totally unnecessary.
Because even if abstinence occurs, sperm can accumulate to a certain extent in the testicles and overflow, entering the urethra for excretion. This not only fails to preserve semen, but also is not conducive to physical and mental health. Of course, indulgence is not conducive to semen health. The reproductive system and pelvis are congested, and Reproductive system disease occur.
The best way to avoid using semen is to maintain it scientifically.
Smoking has a negative impact on male semen, even leading to testicular atrophy, so smoking should be banned; Drink less alcohol; Radiation and harmful chemicals are also harmful to male semen, so it should be kept away; Obesity can lower male serum testosterone levels, which is not conducive to male semen. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen exercise and actively lose weight.
