Why is the sperm brown?

To conceive a new life, in addition to preparing enough eggs, it is more important to have strong sperm. Nowadays, many young men drink frequently and do not pay attention to fitness, which leads to more or less problems with their sperm. The color and activity of the sperm are not enough, and it is difficult to cause successful pregnancy. Normal semen should be viscous and milky white. If the color of the semen appears brown or dark, it should be considered a sign of bleeding.

What color is normal human semen?

The color of a man's semen will change with his physical health condition, and the color of the semen can also reveal whether the sperm quality is up to standard.

Normally, the 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, which is a unique fishy smell.

Long abstinence is one reason for yellow semen

Long abstinence is the main reason for yellow semen. The color of semen is determined by the composition of semen. Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma.

Sperm only accounts for a small part of the total amount, and more than 90% is seminal plasma. Seminal plasma is secreted by accessory glands such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and paraurethral glands. The main component is water, as well as fat, protein particles, pigment particles, lecithin bodies, enzymes, fructose and other components.

Normal human semen is off-white or slightly yellowish brown. If the person abstains from sex for a long time, the color will become yellower due to changes in the physical and chemical properties.

Long-term yellowing of semen may be caused by inflammation

If semen is yellow for a long time, men need to pay attention to it. If semen is yellow for a long time, it may be caused by inflammation, such as prostatitis, purulent infection of the seminal vesicle (spermatocystitis), etc.

If you encounter a situation where your semen is yellow for a long time, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment immediately to see if the yellow semen is caused by a disease. Once the cause is determined, you should receive timely treatment to prevent the disease from causing male infertility.

Question : Semen has a strong and strange smell. Is this normal?

Semen, saliva, gastrointestinal fluid, and blood are all body fluids. They contain a chemical called spermine, which is one of the many important components of prostate secretions. This substance is oxidized with the participation of seminal vesicle fluid and emits an odor that smells like chestnut flowers. Therefore, the odor of semen comes from the prostate and is emitted with the help of seminal vesicle fluid. Therefore, if a man's semen does not have such a strange smell, it indicates that the prostate function may be damaged, which needs to be taken seriously.
