Check for lumps in semen

Because of the busy daily life, many male friends have some physiological problems. For example, there are lumps in the semen, and everyone does not know the specific situation and reasons. Then the following article will introduce to you what kind of reasons are caused by lumps in semen.

General examination

1. Semen volume Common sense for men to do routine semen examination

Common knowledge about routine semen examination for men

Normal people have an ejaculation volume of about 2-6 ml each time, 1-2 ml is suspiciously abnormal, and less than 1 ml or more than 7 ml are considered abnormal. The measurement of semen volume is related to the abstinence period before the sample is collected. The longer the abstinence period, the more semen there is. Generally, 3-7 days of abstinence is appropriate.

2. Color and transparency

Normally, the semen just ejaculated is milky white or grayish white, and becomes translucent milky white after liquefaction. It may be light yellow if the semen has not been ejaculated for a long time. Bright red or dark red blood-sperm is seen in reproductive system inflammation, tuberculosis, and tumors, and yellow purulent semen is seen in seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis.

3. Viscosity and liquefaction

Normal fresh semen is viscous and jelly a few seconds after discharge, and begins to liquefy after 30 minutes under the action of fibrinolytic enzymes in the semen. If the viscosity decreases and becomes rice soup-like, it may be due to a decrease in the number of sperm, which is seen in reproductive system inflammation. If the semen does not coagulate, it is seen in seminal vesicle obstruction or damage. If the semen does not liquefy after 1 hour, it may be due to inflammation that destroys fibrinolytic enzymes, such as prostatitis. The failure of sperm liquefaction can inhibit sperm motility and affect conception.

4. Acidity and alkalinity

Normal semen is slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.2 to 8.0, which helps neutralize acidic vaginal secretions. A pH value less than 7 or greater than 8 can affect sperm activity and metabolism, which is not conducive to conception.

Knowing that there are lumps in the semen is caused by personal physical reasons. This phenomenon should be checked in the hospital in time to prevent the severity of the disease and cause infertility or sexual dysfunction.
