What is the normal color of sperm?

In order to give birth to a healthy baby, prospective parents should pay more attention before pregnancy, especially the quality of the prospective father's sperm. The quality of sperm can be judged from many aspects. Today we will introduce how to judge whether the sperm is healthy by the color of sperm. Many people may not know what the normal color of sperm is. The following is a detailed introduction made by experts on this issue.

1. What is sperm

In fact, semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. Sperm only accounts for a very small part, and more than 90% is seminal plasma. Seminal plasma is secreted by accessory glands such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and paraurethral glands. The main component is water, as well as fat, protein particles, pigment particles, lecithin bodies, enzymes, fructose and other components. The color of semen is determined by the components of semen.

Normal semen is off-white or slightly yellowish. If you abstain from sex for a long time, the color will become yellower due to changes in physical and chemical properties. This is normal.

2. Sperm Color

Normal semen is milky white or light yellow. The light yellow color may be due to a long period of time without ejaculation, so the color changes slightly and it is more viscous, which is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. However, if there is inflammation in the male reproductive tract, the semen will also be yellow, and a large number of pus balls can be seen under a microscope, which is likely caused by purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles.

If the semen is red or light red, sometimes brown or soy color, and a large number of red blood cells can be seen under a microscope, this is usually called "hematospermia". Moreover, some men only find that their semen turns pink or is mixed with blood after a certain ejaculation. This symptom is mostly caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis.

This symptom is not difficult to treat, so there is no need to panic. Patients must go to a regular large hospital for examination. After the cause is found and cured, the color of semen will return to normal. Sperm quality problems caused by inflammation can be significantly improved by supplementing fertility pills. Sometimes couples are separated and have not enjoyed the pleasure of sex for a long time. When they get together, they "overeat", which makes the secretions stored in the seminal vesicles and the pressure of the seminal vesicles drop to the lowest level, causing capillary rupture and bleeding. After a short rest, they will heal on their own, so there is no need to worry.

Experts say that the first prerequisite for giving birth to a healthy baby is to have healthy sperm and eggs, which combine to produce healthy crystals. Therefore, not only women should have pre-pregnancy examinations, but men should also have semen examinations before pregnancy to understand whether their sperm is healthy. Usually, semen examinations include semen volume, viscosity, pH value, semen color, etc.
