Normal semen volume reference value

Normal semen is one of the prerequisites for women to conceive normally. Many couples who cannot give birth to offspring normally often blame the woman and ignore the man's responsibility. In fact, the probability of male infertility is almost the same as that of female infertility. So, what is the reference value of normal semen volume? Let's take a look at what doctors say about this issue.

1. Normal semen volume standard

If you do not ejaculate for several times, or the amount of semen is less than 1.5 ml, it is called oligospermia. It may indicate reproductive system infection, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, testicular dysfunction, endocrine disorder, urethral stenosis and other diseases. If the amount of semen ejaculated at one time exceeds 8 ml, it is called polyspermia, which is often caused by seminal vesiculitis and hypersecretion of pituitary gonadotropin.

2. Why is semen abnormal?

Normal male ejaculation volume is 2-7 ml. Frequent masturbation or excessive sexual intercourse may lead to less and thinner semen during ejaculation. Some cases of too little semen may be caused by testicular dysfunction, endocrine disorders, seminal vesicle and prostate disease or urethral stenosis, and should be treated by a doctor. Excessive ejaculation, such as more than 7 ml, is also a pathological condition, mostly caused by seminal vesiculitis.

Three: Self-examination method

Most men know some simple self-testing methods to observe the properties of semen. Normal semen is weakly alkaline, has a special fishy smell, is off-white or milky white, and contains off-white clots; about 10-20 minutes after being discharged from the body, the clots liquefy themselves and become translucent, turbid, thin mucus. If a person has abstinence for a long time, his semen will be light yellow and more viscous; if it is bright red or dark red, it indicates possible inflammation or reproductive tract damage. Sometimes a couple is separated for a period of time, and after reuniting, they have frequent and intense sex, and the pressure on the seminal vesicles drops to the lowest level in a short time, which will also cause dark red semen.

Do you know what the normal amount of semen is like? You can do a self-examination according to the above method. If there are signs of abnormal semen, you should take precautions. Eat more fruits such as dragon fruit, control your sex life, avoid masturbation, and watch less stimulating books and movies.
