Why is it that men’s semen is often not thick?

Male friends who observe carefully will find that when you ejaculate continuously in a short period of time, you will find that the semen is very thin. This is a physiological change and it will be fine after a period of time. So why is the semen often not thick?

What is the reason for male semen not being thick?

Experts point out that normal semen is viscous, milky white, light yellow or colorless. After about 10-20 minutes, the clot liquefies itself and becomes translucent, turbid, thin mucus. The number of sperm in each milliliter of semen is generally between 60 million and 200 million. Motile sperm accounts for more than 60% of the total, and abnormal sperm should be less than 10% of the total. The motility of sperm lasts for 3-4 hours at room temperature. The reason for the thin semen is probably due to the frequent sexual intercourse between the couple, the frequent ejaculation, and the lack of time to generate enough sperm, so the semen naturally becomes thinner.

Excessive sexual intercourse or masturbation will cause fatigue in the long-term state of high excitement of the central nervous system, which may lead to unsatisfactory erections and may also be the cause of thin semen. Some young men masturbate frequently, once for several days or even several times a day, which will significantly reduce the amount of semen. This is because although the human body has a strong ability to produce sperm and semen, which can generally be replenished 1 to 2 days after ejaculation, excessive ejaculation will still lead to a situation of "supply exceeding demand". Of course, when this situation leads to thin semen, it is certainly not a disease, and there is no need to worry. Properly control the frequency, pay attention to rest and exercise, and extend the interval between ejaculations, and it will be cured without treatment.

However, if the amount of semen is too small each time, it is pathological. The reasons for the thin semen may be abnormal testicular function, endocrine disorders, seminal vesicle, prostate disease or urethral stenosis. This type of too little semen is easy to identify. Just abstain from sex or masturbation for 5 to 7 days and then ejaculate again. If the amount of semen is more than before, there is no disease. Otherwise, it is pathological oligospermia.

Warm reminder: Low semen concentration is not necessarily caused by disease. Once male friends find abnormal semen concentration, they can go to the hospital for some examinations to clarify the cause of low semen concentration, and then take some measures to deal with it.
