What does normal sperm smell like?

Nowadays, more and more men are experiencing infertility. There are many reasons for male infertility, and most of them are related to the quality of sperm. Ejaculation is a very normal physiological process during sexual intercourse, but few men care about the color and smell of sperm. With people's high attention to reproductive health, more and more men are more concerned about the health of male sperm. So what is the reason for the strong fishy smell of male sperm? Let's introduce it in detail below.

First of all, the sperm normally ejaculated by men is gray or slightly beige and has a fishy smell. If a man abstains from sex for a long time, the physical and chemical properties will change, the color of the sperm will turn yellow and have a fishy smell. As long as there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, it does not require treatment. Sperm is a compound containing spermine, which is one of the key components of prostate metabolism. It will cause oxidation when combined with seminal vesicle fluid and then have a smell.

Secondly, the quality of sperm cannot be detected by naked eyes. The smell of sperm is caused by arginine metabolized by the prostate in the semen, and it has a fishy smell. If you find that the sperm has a strong fishy smell, you should pay attention to it and go to the hospital for relevant tests as soon as possible. Inflammation of the genitourinary system, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and epididymitis, should be ruled out.

Finally, the appearance of abnormal male sperm is a common symptom in clinical medicine. Male sperm is milky white or light green. Yellow semen indicates inflammation in the reproductive system, such as purulent infection of the male prostate or seminal vesicle. Yellow sperm is not terrible. If the cause is found and treated with medication, the sperm color will return. The appearance of abnormal male sperm is related to bacterial infection. Drink more water on a daily basis. Once abnormal male sperm is found, anti-infection treatment is needed as soon as possible.

In general, it is very normal for male sperm to have a fishy smell. If the male sperm has a very strong fishy smell, you should consider that it is an inflammation of your urinary system. You need to seek medical treatment from a professional doctor as soon as possible and do relevant tests to find the cause of the disease. You should pay attention to your lifestyle, exercise more, improve your disease resistance, maintain a stable sex life relationship, and avoid damage to your health.
