There are 4 indicators for self-examination of semen quality: Transparent and thin means there are too few sperm

Semen volume: 2~6 ml.

Semen volume refers to the amount of semen discharged each time ejaculation. Normally, the amount of semen discharged in one ejaculation is 2 to 6 ml. The amount of semen is related to the length of abstinence. The longer the abstinence period, the more semen there is, and vice versa. If the semen volume is too low for a long time, it may cause difficulty in conception. Too much semen will reduce sperm density. If you use a condom during sex, you can check the amount of semen inside after sex. If it suddenly increases or decreases, you need to pay attention.

Color: Creamy white or off-white.

The semen just ejaculated is jelly-like, grayish white or grayish yellow. The semen ejaculated by those who have not ejaculated for a long time is darker in color, and the semen of the elderly is mostly dark yellow. If the semen is brownish yellow or bloody, it may be related to urinary tract inflammation, reproductive tract damage and other diseases, such as prostatitis, seminal vesicle and prostate cancer. If the semen is transparent and too thin, it indicates that the sperm density is low.

Smell: light fishy smell.

Normal semen has a special light fishy smell, which is produced by the oxidation of polyamines in prostatic fluid. The longer the abstinence period, the stronger the smell. If there is a distinct odor, consider whether there is an infection.

Changes: Jelly becomes thinner.

At room temperature, semen will solidify into a jelly-like state immediately after being ejaculated, and then enter the liquefaction process, gradually becoming thinner. This process is usually completed within 15 minutes. If it exceeds 30 minutes, the semen is not liquefied or liquefied incompletely, which is more common in patients with prostate or seminal vesicle diseases.

With this knowledge, it is recommended that couples check their semen after sex to see if it meets the above standards. If you are worried about a problem, it is best to abstain from sex for 3 to 5 days and go to the hospital for a routine semen examination. There are many data listed in the clinical semen analysis report, some of which are worth paying attention to.
