What color is normal sperm?

Sperm and egg are two magical substances, which combine to create the myth of life. However, the birth of life is not easy after all. It is a magical and difficult process. Only when normal sperm and egg meet in a specific environment and at a specific time can a life be created. So, what color is normal sperm? Let's learn together and explore the mystery of life together.

1. Semen volume: Normal ≥ 2ml. If it is more than 7ml, it is too much, not only the sperm density is reduced, but also it is easy to flow out of the vagina, resulting in a decrease in the total number of sperm, which is common in seminal vesiculitis; less than 2ml is too little semen, but usually less than 1ml is too little.

At this time, the contact area between semen and the female reproductive tract is small, or the viscosity makes it difficult for sperm to enter the female's cervix, leading to infertility. This is common in severe paragonitis, low testosterone levels, ejaculatory duct obstruction, retrograde ejaculation, etc.

2. Color: Normal color is off-white or slightly yellow. Milky white or yellow-green indicates inflammation of the reproductive tract or accessory glands; pink, red, or red blood cells under a microscope indicate bloody semen, which is often seen in inflammation of the accessory glands and posterior urethra, and occasionally in tuberculosis or tumors.

3. Acidity and alkalinity: The normal pH value of semen is 72-78. Less than 7.2 is seen in ejaculatory duct obstruction or urine contamination; greater than 78 is seen in seminal vesiculitis or old specimens.

4. Liquefaction time: After normal semen is ejaculated, it becomes jelly-like under the action of seminal vesicle coagulase, and becomes liquid under the action of prostate liquefaction enzyme after 15 to 30 minutes. This is semen liquefaction. If semen still does not liquefy 30 minutes after ejaculation, it is abnormal.

5. Viscosity: When a glass rod is placed in contact with liquefied semen and gently lifted, a semen thread will be formed. Normally, its length is less than 2 cm.

6. Sperm count: It is generally expressed as the number of sperm per milliliter of semen. The normal count is ≥20×106/ml. If the count is lower than this value, it means there are too few sperms, which is seen in spermatogenesis disorders caused by various reasons. It may cause low fertility or infertility due to the reduced chance of sperm entering the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. If the sperm count is greater than 250×106/ml, it means there are too many sperms, which may also cause infertility due to the affected motility.

Do you have some understanding of the color of normal sperm? Do you feel that life is really amazing? Are you grateful that you have the opportunity to explore the amazing life? Indeed, the shaping of life is very complicated and it is a process that cannot be explained in a few words. Therefore, we need to learn more relevant knowledge and explore more mysteries of life.
