How to test your sperm yourself

What male friends are more concerned about is the quality of their sperm, but many men will not go to the hospital to check the quality of their sperm, and generally they think that there is no problem with the quality of their sperm. However, in order to successfully complete childbearing in the future, it is best for male friends to check the quality of their sperm.

In addition to going to the hospital and having a doctor help check the quality of one's sperm, men can also check the quality of their sperm themselves, such as observing whether their semen liquefies shortly after ejaculation.

Generally, the quality of sperm can be determined by its color, number, liquefaction time, and viscosity, as follows:

1. Sperm color : The color of normal and healthy male sperm is grayish white or slightly yellowish. If it is milky white or yellowish green, there may be some inflammation. If the color of sperm is pink or red, it is bloody semen, which is common in accessory glands and posterior urethritis.

2. Sperm count : A normal male's sperm count should be more than or equal to 2ml. If the sperm count is less than 2ml, it can be diagnosed as oligospermia, which can easily affect male fertility.

3. Sperm liquefaction time : After normal male ejaculation, sperm will become jelly under the action of seminal vesicle coagulase, and after 5-30 minutes, it will become liquid under the action of prostate liquefaction enzyme, which is called semen liquefaction. If semen still does not liquefy 30 minutes after ejaculation, this situation is abnormal.

4. Sperm viscosity : Use a glass rod to touch the liquefied semen and gently lift it to form a semen thread. If the semen is normal, the length of the semen thread should be less than 2 cm.

The quality of a man's sperm directly determines whether a woman can successfully conceive. If the quality of a man's sperm is not particularly good, it will cause problems with the health of the fetus after conception. Therefore, it is best for men to quit smoking and drinking in their daily lives. In addition, they can also participate in more physical exercise to help improve the quality of sperm.
