What color sperm is the healthiest?

In fact, men can understand their reproductive health through the color of their sperm. If the color of the sperm is abnormal, it may indicate some reproductive inflammation. The normal sperm color is grayish white or slightly yellowish.

1. Routine semen examination is the most basic and important clinical indicator for determining male fertility. It takes three months for a sperm to grow and mature. Sperm begins to develop from spermatogonia, goes through low-grade sperm cells, secondary sperm cells, sperm cells, and finally forms sperm. This process takes more than 70 days, and then is stored in the epididymis. The process of being able to conceive in the epididymis takes several more days. Increased life pressure and aging lead to a decline in the quality of male semen.

2. In addition, bad living habits have a great impact on the growth and maturation of sperm, such as: smoking, drinking, eating spicy food, taking high-temperature sauna baths, wearing tight jeans, staying up late, etc.

3. The normal color of sperm in men of reproductive age is grayish white or slightly yellow. If the abstinence period is long, the color will be yellower due to the change of physical and chemical properties, which is also normal. The semen of those who have not ejaculated for a long time is darker. The semen of the elderly is mostly dark yellow. After about 10-20 minutes, the clot will liquefy by itself and become translucent, turbid and thin mucus.

4. If the semen is milky white or yellow-green, or even yellow and bloody, it indicates inflammation in the reproductive tract, which is likely to be a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles, which may cause male infertility. In this case, treatment should be carried out promptly.
