What causes low sperm count and how to treat it

Men produce sperm almost every day after they reach adulthood. Whether they are masturbating or ejaculating, they will find that their sperm is milky white or yellow translucent, like gelatin. Generally speaking, sperm can be seen, but it is still viscous. Under a microscope, the tiny sperm are like tadpoles swimming back and forth. So what is going on with very thin sperm? How to treat such sperm?

Before ejaculation, semen is stored in the body in liquid form. When semen is ejected from the penis, it immediately becomes milky white or slightly yellow translucent jelly under the action of a protein-like substance secreted by the seminal vesicle. This is the semen property that people usually see.

At this time, the sperm is "solidified" in the semen and cannot swim freely. After 5 to 30 minutes, with the participation of a hydrolase secreted by the prostate, the semen begins to liquefy, gradually changing from a jelly-like state to a thin watery state.

This change process of semen has very important physiological significance: it is liquid at the beginning to facilitate semen ejaculation; it forms a gel immediately after ejaculation, which is conducive to the semen staying in the vagina for a sufficient time to allow the sperm to get sufficient rest and energy; once liquefied, the sperm has enough energy to swim quickly and go straight to the egg for a "blind date".

If the prostate or seminal vesicle is inflamed, due to the lack of secretion or damage of hydrolytic enzymes, the semen of these patients may not liquefy or liquefy incompletely for a long time after ejaculation, and some may even take half an hour or even an hour to liquefy. This is a pathological phenomenon, medically known as semen liquefaction.

Generally speaking, very thin sperm can cause male infertility or necrospermia, which can be treated by strengthening yang or nourishing the kidneys. If you want to conceive a healthy child, you must first ensure that your sperm and semen are healthy and complete.
