How to check your health through semen?

As living standards improve, we pay more and more attention to our health. While paying attention to various gynecological diseases in women, men's reproductive health cannot be ignored. Semen is secreted by organs such as the prostate and seminal vesicles. From its color and smell, we can judge whether the male body is healthy and whether there are potential sexual diseases. Next, the editor will lead everyone to a lesson on men's health.

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 changes in physical and chemical properties, which is also normal. The semen of those who have not ejaculated for a long time is darker.

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 saunas, wearing tight jeans, staying up late, etc. What are the colors of abnormal sperm?

1. The color of sperm is milky white or slightly yellow-green: It indicates inflammation in the reproductive tract, which is probably a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles;

2. The color of sperm is red: It indicates that the semen contains red blood cells, which is usually called "hematospermia". Hematospermia is mostly caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis. This type of hematospermia caused by inflammation is mostly light red. If small blood vessels rupture due to vascular malformations, hematospermia will be bright red and blood clots will be seen.

3. Semen abnormality may also be caused by a bad smell. Why does semen smell so bad? This is because the male prostate secretes a substance called spermine, which emits this smell after oxidation in the seminal vesicle fluid. It is normal for semen to have this smell. If it does not, it may mean that there is something wrong with the prostate or seminal vesicle.

Well, the class is over. Do you understand? Here I would like to remind you that the color of semen will vary with individual constitution and age. Male friends should learn to self-examine. If they find any abnormality, they should consult a doctor and do relevant examinations in time to avoid unpredictable consequences due to untimely treatment.
