Why are there crystals in the ejaculated sperm?

Sperm is a substance unique to men. It can combine with the female egg to form a fertilized egg, and then a new life can be born in the female's womb after ten months of pregnancy. Normal semen is liquid, but some people have crystals in their ejaculated sperm, which is very troubling and they are afraid that it will affect the quality of their next generation. So let's introduce what is going on when there are crystals in the ejaculated sperm.

Reasons for crystallization in male semen:

1. Physiological changes of the testicles: As we all know, the testicles are where sperms are produced. If the testicles are diseased, the sperms will also be abnormal. If the testicles have epididymitis or orchitis, the sperm density and activity rate of such patients are significantly lower than those without such a history. This is the common cause of physiological changes in the testicles.

2. Sexually transmitted diseases: Sexually transmitted diseases are no longer rare. Men with sexually transmitted diseases will have low lens activity, which is related to the disorder of the accessory gland function, especially epididymitis. It cannot be ignored that Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis infections are very common in clinical practice and are extremely harmful.

3. Mumps causes abnormal testicular spermatogenesis: Generally speaking, 4.4% of patients with mumps will have orchitis. The occurrence of orchitis will affect the quality of sperm and increase the incidence of azoospermia, especially when bilateral orchitis occurs. Therefore, orchitis will also lead to the occurrence of semen crystallization.

4. Urinary system diseases: If a man suffers from prostatitis, urethritis and other diseases, if these diseases are not treated in time or are not cured for a long time, it will lead to testicular disease, abnormal semen production, and semen crystallization. Therefore, when suffering from urinary system diseases, early detection and early treatment are necessary.

What are the hazards of semen crystallization:

1. Inflammation: If a man's semen contains abnormal crystals, it is very likely to cause inflammation, because the various parts of the male reproductive and urinary system affect each other. If there is an abnormality in sperm, inflammation will also occur in the vas deferens, epididymis and other parts.

2. Affecting the patient's mood: When a man finds that his semen has crystals, because he does not know the cause, he will feel overwhelmed and fear that it is a serious disease, which puts excessive psychological pressure on the man.

3. It can easily cause miscarriage in women: If a man's semen is abnormal and contains crystals, it will affect the quality of the sperm on the fertilized egg, embryo, and fetus, causing most embryos to stop developing, habitual miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, etc. are all caused by sperm abnormalities. This is also one of the more common hazards of semen abnormalities.

4. Harmful to fetal development and growth: Crystallization in semen is a sign of semen abnormality, and semen abnormality will affect the quality of sperm, leading to fetal malformation, intellectual disability, developmental abnormalities and other problems, all of which are closely related to male sperm abnormalities.

How to prevent semen crystallization:

1. Patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, develop good hygiene habits, and prevent various infectious diseases.

2. Avoid sitting for long periods of time
