The more this fluid a man has, the less likely he is to have children.

Does more semen mean better sexual function? Obviously, this idea is wrong. Male sexual function has no direct relationship with the condition of semen, but it is still closely related to male fertility. According to the standards of the World Health Organization (WHO), the normal amount of semen discharged by a man should be around 5 ml. Therefore, it is a disease if it is too much greater or less than this standard.

Is your semen volume normal?

Normally, the amount of semen in men is between 2 and 6 ml. You can use a condom to measure it. The seminal vesicle of a condom can store 2 ml of semen. If the amount of semen you ejaculate each time exceeds the seminal vesicle, but not too much, then it is normal. If the amount of semen is too little, even the seminal vesicle cannot be filled, it means that the amount of sperm is too little, and the semen is not enough to maintain the normal survival of sperm. If it is not treated for a long time, it will lead to infertility problems.

Low semen volume is related to the frequency of sexual intercourse

Sperm needs to be ejaculated during every sexual intercourse. If a couple has frequent sex, the amount of semen produced by the man will naturally decrease. It also takes time for semen to form in men, usually 1 to 2 days. There are also other situations that can affect the amount of semen, such as ejaculation, masturbation, etc. In this case, as long as the time of sexual intercourse is extended, the amount of semen will naturally recover.

Can too much semen lead to infertility?

When we talk about low semen volume, we think of infertility. But what problems will arise if the semen volume is too high?

Excessive amount of semen is usually caused by seminal vesiculitis. Seminal vesiculitis is a common disease in young men, mostly caused by infections such as E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus and Monobacterium. This inflammation will not affect the total number of sperm, but the sperm density in the semen will decrease, and the chance of pregnancy will decrease. Moreover, a large amount of semen ejaculated during each sexual intercourse will bring out a large number of sperm, which will greatly affect the chance of pregnancy. At the same time, the vitality of sperm will also be affected by inflammation, which is not good for the body.

Dr. Grace Saentola and Shirley Eberly of the University of Rochester in New York analyzed the semen of men with infertility and sub-infertility for 32 months. The results showed that the proportion of immature sperm in summer is higher than that in other seasons. This is because the temperature is generally high in summer, and the heat tolerance of sperm is relatively poor. On the contrary, the highest sperm count is in winter, so winter is the most suitable season for conception.
