Expose whether male semen and sperm are normal, and how to determine whether the color of male semen is generally beige, although there are also cases where male semen is beige. This is also normal. How to determine whether male semen is normal? What are the standards?
To answer this question, the first step is to understand the formation, maturation, and activity process of male semen sperm. Sperm is produced by the testicles. The number of sperm per milliliter of semen is generally between 60 million and 200 million. Sperm with mobility accounts for over 60% of the total, while deformed sperm accounts for less than 10% of the total. Sperm motility lasts for 3-4 hours at room temperature. Semen plasma is a mixture of male accessory gland secretions, mainly from the seminal vesicles and prostate gland. 60% of them come from the seminal vesicles, 30% from the prostate, and 10% from the testis, vas deferens ampulla, urethral bulb, and urethral glands. After sperm is generated in the convoluted tubules of the testes, they form tadpole shaped sperm in morphology, but experiments have shown that sperm in the testes do not have the ability to fertilize. Testicular sperm need to undergo the process of sperm maturation in the testicles, as well as the process of energy in the female reproductive tract. Sperm undergoes a series of complex changes during operation within the 4-6 meter long testicles. During the maturation process, sperm have a slightly smaller volume and reduced water content.
The most obvious change is the backward movement of cytoplasmic droplets in the body of immature sperm, ultimately shedding. In the semen of some infertile patients, it can be seen that many immature sperm have not shed their cytoplasm. Sperm produced within the testicles can move, but once it enters the testicular head, it loses its ability to move. During the process of sperm movement within the testicles, they acquire mobility. Firstly, it oscillates on the spot, followed by a rotational movement, and finally, the unique swinging forward movement of mature sperm. Therefore, observing the movement of sperm is also an indicator of whether sperm is mature. Normal semen is discharged from the body and immediately solidifies into a gel or block shape. After 10-20 minutes, it liquefies into a water like liquid. This process is called semen liquefaction and is a normal physiological phenomenon. When semen is discharged from the body for more than 30 minutes, it becomes frozen, and an abnormal phenomenon is called non liquefaction of semen. The reason for semen non liquefaction is usually that seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis lead to insufficient fibrinolysis enzyme secreted by the prostate, trace elements lead to the phenomenon of semen non liquefaction, and semen is insufficient. If your sperm has the following conditions, you should carefully check: the smell of normal semen is emitted after the oxidation of a chemical substance called arginine, which is very similar to chestnut flowers. Arginine is one of the various important components in prostate secretions.
Arginine oxidation requires the participation of seminal vesicle fluid. The prostatic fluid obtained by rectal massage usually has no smell of natural ejaculation fluid. The odor of normal ejaculation comes from the prostate gland, but is emitted with the participation of seminal vesicle fluid. The lack of this special odor in semen often represents damage to prostate function, and many prostate patients' semen often cannot smell this odor.
To determine whether semen is normal, according to the regulations of the World Health Organization, males can determine whether semen is normal or not based on the following criteria. The normal amount should be more than 2ml (ml). If there is an excess of 7ml or more, not only does the sperm density decrease, but it is also easy to flow out of the female vagina, resulting in a decrease in the total number of sperm, which is common in patients with seminal vesiculitis. If the total amount is less than 2ml, the semen volume is small, and if it is less than 1ml, it is easy to become infertile.
