The reason why semen smells so bad

In addition to the many unknown problems of women's physical health, men also have many physical problems. And men's physical problems are more embarrassing and difficult to talk about than women. However, as people gradually pay more attention to physical health, men's health has also received more and more attention. This time we will start to briefly talk about the reasons why semen has a strong fishy smell. I hope it will be of some help to the majority of male friends.

The main component of semen is water, accounting for more than 90%. Other components include fat and protein particles, pigment particles, phospholipid bodies of prostatic fluid, amines, free amino acids, various enzymes, lactic acid, fructose and inorganic salts, etc. It is weakly alkaline. The main smell comes from the prostaglandins secreted by the prostate, which has a special fishy smell, so it should be normal. If there are other phenomena not mentioned, you need to be alert to whether there is inflammation. The fishy smell is normal, but every man's smell is different. Some have a strong smell and some have a little smell. In fact, it is normal, but it can also be caused by not having sex for a long time or inflammation. If you are healthy, then it's okay. If you feel pain, itching, etc., then go for a check-up. If you have inflammation, the smell should be less after anti-inflammatory treatment.

Normal semen is off-white or slightly earthy yellow, with a fishy smell. If the abstinence period is long, the color will be yellower due to changes in physical and chemical properties. This is normal. The fishy smell is very normal and does not require treatment if there is no discomfort. Because semen contains the chemical substance spermine, which is one of the many important components contained in prostate secretions, this substance is oxidized with the participation of seminal vesicle fluid and emits an odor that smells very much like the smell of chestnut flowers. Therefore, the smell of semen comes from the prostate and is emitted with the help of seminal vesicle fluid. Therefore, if a man's semen does not have such a strange smell, it indicates that the prostate function may be damaged, which needs to be taken seriously. Normal semen that has just been ejaculated is viscous, milky white, and contains off-white clots. After about 10-20 minutes, the clots will liquefy by themselves and become translucent, turbid, and thin mucus. The odor of semen is produced by the arginine secreted by the prostate in the semen, which is a unique fishy smell. The quality of semen cannot be judged by the naked eye. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a test to make it clear. In addition, it is recommended to control the frequency of masturbation to once a week. The possibility of urinary system inflammation cannot be ruled out, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, testicular epididymitis, etc.

Abnormal semen includes: milky white or yellow-green semen, yellow semen. This indicates inflammation in the reproductive tract, most likely a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. Yellow semen is not terrible. Once the cause is found and treated, the color can return to normal. Considering the abnormality of semen, bacterial infection may occur, anti-inflammatory treatment can be taken, and drink plenty of water.

This is why semen has a strong fishy smell. Sometimes it may be a normal phenomenon, but sometimes it may be a bad problem. If you still have questions about these aspects, you need to seek help from the hospital. You must go to a regular hospital. In addition, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and participating in more physical exercise will enhance the body's abilities in all aspects. Maintaining good and healthy sex is also very beneficial to physical health.
