Why does sperm smell like fish?

There is a gas in sperm, which contains ammonia, so it smells bad. Many patients cannot feel it themselves, and only people around them can smell it. This abnormality indicates prostate problems. Regular examinations can avoid inflammation. Everyone's smell is different. Pay attention to private hygiene to avoid inflammation and infection. If there is a problem, go to the hospital for examination in time.

The smell of normal semen is the smell of a chemical called spermine. It is the smell that comes out after oxidation after being discharged from the body. Spermine is one of the many important components contained in prostate secretions. The oxidation of spermine must be involved in the seminal vesicle fluid. Prostate fluid obtained through rectal massage, otherwise, generally does not have the smell of natural ejaculated semen. It can be seen that the smell of normal ejaculated semen comes from prostate fluid, but it is only emitted with the participation of seminal vesicle fluid. The lack of this special smell in semen often indicates prostate function damage. Many prostate patients often do not smell this smell in their semen. In addition to sperm, other seminal plasma components in semen are composed of prostate fluid, epididymal fluid, seminal vesicle fluid, and various secretions of the urethra and vas deferens. The testicles have a strange smell, which is related to kidney yin deficiency. You can take some Chinese patent medicine "Liuwei Dihuang Pills" on a regular basis to change this symptom.

The main component of semen is water, accounting for more than 90%. Among the formed elements, in addition to mature sperm, there are 1% of other cells, such as immature spermatogonia, spermatocytes, epithelial cells shed from the reproductive tract, and a small amount of white blood cells. In pathological semen, the content of these cells can reach more than 30%. In addition to cells, semen also contains fat and protein particles, pigment particles, phospholipid bodies of prostatic fluid, inorganic salts, enzymes, lactic acid and fructose, etc.

Among inorganic salts, calcium is more abundant, with 21-25 mg per 100 ml. In addition, magnesium is 14 mg/100 ml, potassium is 5.6-10.7 mg/100 ml, and zinc is 5-23 mg/100 ml. Some people believe that a large amount of zinc is secreted by the prostate, and it has been confirmed that sperm itself also stores a large amount of zinc. A small part of this zinc gives carbonic anhydrase activity. Most of the zinc in human semen is bound to proteins, and the enzymes mainly include acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and hyaluronidase. The fruit acid in semen helps the activity of sperm. Every 100 ml of semen contains 91-520 mg of fruit acid. Since the content of semen fruit acid can reflect the endocrine function of the testicles, some people use the measurement of semen fruit acid content to indirectly understand the endocrine function of the testicles. It is similar to the composition of plasma, weakly alkaline, and the main taste comes from the prostaglandins secreted by the prostate. So it should be said that the normal basic taste is a special fishy smell, slightly salty. But everyone describes it differently, there is no fixed definition, it is normal, and every man is like this.
