Semen is the lifeblood of men, mysterious and sacred; What is the normal semen of a man?
1. Semen volume:
The normal amount should be greater than or equal to 2ml (milliliter). If it is more than 7ml, it is excessive. At this time, not only the sperm density becomes low, but also it is easy to flow out of the female vagina, resulting in a decrease in the total sperm count, which is common in patients with seminal vesiculitis. If the total amount is less than 2ml, it indicates a low semen volume, and if the total amount is less than 1ml, it indicates a low semen volume, which can easily lead to infertility.
2. Color:
The normal color is grayish white or slightly yellow. If the semen appears milky white or yellowish green, it indicates inflammation of the male reproductive tract or accessory gonads. "If there is pink or red color, or if red blood cells can be seen under a microscope, it is bloody semen, which is commonly seen in patients with accessory gonads and post urethritis, and occasionally in patients with tuberculosis or tumors.".
3. Liquefaction time:
After normal semen is ejaculated, it becomes gelatinous under the action of seminal vesicle coagulase, and after 15 to 30 minutes, it becomes liquid under the action of prostate liquefaction enzyme, known as semen liquefaction. If semen does not liquefy 30 minutes after ejaculation, it is considered abnormal.
4. Viscosity:
Touch liquefied semen with a glass rod and gently lift it to form semen filaments. If the semen is normal, the length of the semen filament should be less than 2 centimeters.
In addition, indicators such as semen pH and sperm motility need to be tested to obtain accurate results. If a man finds that none of the above four indicators are normal, he should go to the hospital for further laboratory tests. After reading the introduction to normal semen from men above, if you find any abnormality in your semen, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a check up to ensure your health.
