Some men are promoted by feudal superstitions, so they attach great importance to their semen. The ancients had the saying 'one drop of essence, ten drops of blood' because of their ignorance and ignorance. This is completely without scientific basis. Modern scientific research proves that semen is not the so-called essence of men
Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. Sperm count only accounts for a very small portion, with over 90% being seminal plasma. Semen plasma is secreted by accessory gonads such as the prostate, seminal vesicle, urethral bulb gland, and paraurethral gland. Its main component is water, as well as various components such as fat, protein particles, pigment particles, lecithin bodies, enzymes, and fructose.
The color of semen is determined by the components that make up it. The semen of a normal person is grayish white or slightly yellowish brown. If abstinence is prolonged, the color may become yellowish due to changes in physical and chemical properties. This is all normal.
Abnormal semen includes: the semen is milky white or slightly chartreuse, indicating inflammation in the genital tract, which is likely to be a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. The red color of semen indicates the presence of red blood cells, commonly referred to as "blood semen". Blood semen is mostly caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis. This type of blood semen caused by inflammation is mostly light red in color. If a small blood vessel ruptures due to vascular malformation, the blood semen appears bright red and blood clots can be seen.
Abnormal semen color is not scary, and once the cause is identified and treated, the color can return to normal.
