What does freshly ejaculated sperm look like?

Normal sperm is actually glue-packed when it is just ejaculated, and it will slowly melt into liquid after a period of time. If your sperm shape is not like this, you need to get checked. It is likely that your sperm does not meet the standard at all, which will cause all kinds of problems. After all, sperm will directly determine whether male friends have some andrological diseases.

Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma, of which sperm accounts for 10% and the rest is seminal plasma. In addition to water, fructose, protein and fat, it also contains a variety of enzymes and inorganic salts. Semen contains zinc.

Semen is a combination of sperm and secretions produced by the testicles and secretions of the reproductive glands (epididymis, prostate, seminal vesicle, urethral accessory glands, etc.). The prostatic fluid, seminal vesicle fluid and a small amount of fluid secreted by the bulbourethral glands are collectively called seminal plasma. Seminal plasma is an essential medium for transporting sperm and provides energy and nutrients for sperm. Simply put, semen is composed of two parts, one part sperm and one part seminal plasma. So when many men ask questions, "My sperm is like this and that", it is obvious that they do not understand the composition of semen, because sperm cannot be seen by the naked eye. The amount of semen ejaculated each time is about 2-6 ml, which looks like a little bit.

Sperm is produced by the testicles. Seminal plasma is secreted by the prostate, seminal vesicles and bulbourethral glands. Seminal plasma contains fructose and protein, which are nutrients for sperm. In addition, seminal plasma also contains prostaglandins and some enzyme substances.

Semen is alkaline, while the inside of the female reproductive organs is acidic. Therefore, when semen enters the female body, it will be neutralized. A fertilized egg is formed. A normal fertile male ejaculates a maximum of 2-6 ml at a time, with an average of 3.5 ml. The amount of semen ejaculated at one time is negatively correlated with the frequency of ejaculation. If the ejaculation volume is still less than 2 ml after 5-7 days of abstinence, it is considered as a decrease in semen; if there is no ejaculation, it is called aspermia. Seminal plasma is the medium for sperm activity and can neutralize the acidic secretions of the vagina to avoid affecting sperm motility. A decrease in semen volume (insufficient semen) is not conducive to semen passing through the vagina into the uterus and fallopian tubes, affecting fertilization. If the amount of ejaculation exceeds 8 ml at one time, the sperm will be diluted, which is also not conducive to fertility. This may be due to the hypersecretion of gonadotropin in the anterior pituitary, which increases the level of androgen. It can also be seen in people who abstain from sex for too long.

Semen contains an antibacterial substance comparable to penicillin - semen cytoplasm. Experts point out that semen cytoplasm is a protein with unique functions. Once this substance enters the cell, it can prevent the synthesis of RNA and kill bacteria. It has been observed from laboratory culture that semen cytoplasm can kill many pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus.

Some men, influenced by some feudal superstitions, attach great importance to their semen. The ancients were ignorant, so they said "one drop of semen is equal to ten drops of blood". This is completely without scientific basis. Modern scientific research has proved that semen is not the essence of men at all. The ingredients in it are similar to those of sweat.
