What causes sperm to smell fishy?

Men's semen often has a slight fishy smell, which is actually a normal phenomenon. However, if the fishy smell of semen is more serious, it should be taken seriously. At this time, you should closely observe the state of the semen and whether the color is normal. You should be especially alert to the possibility of urinary system diseases in men, so you should closely observe whether there are other symptoms, and then consider the following factors.

What causes sperm to smell fishy?

The current problem is the abnormal odor of semen. I would like to consult whether the condition is serious and whether it will affect pregnancy. Normally, semen just ejaculated is viscous, milky white, and contains grayish white clots. After about 10-20 minutes, the clots liquefy themselves and become translucent, turbid, thin mucus. The odor of semen is produced by arginine secreted by the prostate in the semen. It is a unique fishy smell, but it is not particularly unpleasant. Generally, if it is very unpleasant, it indicates that there may be inflammation of the reproductive system, so further examination and diagnosis should be carried out to avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Guidance:

It is recommended to go to the hospital for routine semen and blood tests to determine whether there are infectious diseases in the reproductive system. If necessary, sperm count and motility tests can be performed to help further determine whether there are abnormalities in sperm. If there are no problems with semen count and motility, it will generally not affect pregnancy. If the examination indicates that there is an infection, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out for a period of time. After the inflammation is completely cured, consider pregnancy after a period of time. This will not only increase the probability of pregnancy, but also minimize the impact of drugs and inflammation on the fetus, which is conducive to giving birth to a smart and healthy baby.

It may be caused by urinary tract infection or prostatitis. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene and change underwear frequently. It is best to check the urinary system by color ultrasound, semen routine, urine routine, determine the cause, and treat it symptomatically.

There is something wrong with the semen, possibly an infection.

Guidance:

He may have prostatitis. I suggest giving him some levofloxacin.
