What is normal sperm color?

Many couples, when they want to have children, pay attention to their own health and hope to have children under good conditions so that the children can be as healthy as possible. Therefore, some men want to know what kind of sperm is normal. So, what color is normal sperm?

First of all, normal sperm is usually white or slightly yellowish. If you haven't ejaculated for a long time, the sperm you ejaculate may be light yellow. If you ejaculate frequently, the sperm you ejaculate is usually white. This is a normal sperm color.

Secondly, if the sperm is very yellow, or contains dark red blood, then you should be careful, as it may be caused by inflammation or other diseases, and you need to seek medical treatment in time to prevent it from affecting your health and pregnancy. After the sperm is ejaculated, if it can be vaporized within five minutes, it means that the sperm is relatively normal and healthy. If you want to get pregnant, the sperm is of good quality.

In addition, the sperm of many men may not vaporize. Such sperm cannot cause pregnancy. You need to go to the hospital for examination, understand the cause, and make targeted improvements and treatments to avoid affecting pregnancy. In normal times, men must pay attention to their own sperm changes. Frequent masturbation may affect the quality of sperm or affect physical and mental health.

How to check sperm by yourself

How to check sperm by yourself? According to the requirements of the World Health Organization, men can judge whether sperm is normal or abnormal by themselves from the following four points:

1. Sperm density: The normal amount should be more than or equal to 2ml (ml). If it exceeds 7ml, it is too much. At this time, not only the number of sperm is reduced, but it is also easy to be discharged from the female vagina, resulting in a decrease in the number of sperm in men, which is more common in patients with seminal vesiculitis. If the total output is less than 2ml, it is less semen, and less than 1ml is too little, which is easy to cause infertility.

2. Color: The normal color is gray or slightly yellowish. If the semen appears milky white or light green, it indicates inflammation of the male reproductive tract or parasitemia. If it appears pink, bright red, or blood cells can be seen under a microscope, it is strong semen, which is more common in patients with parasitemia and posterior urethritis, and occasionally in patients with tuberculosis or tumors.

3. Vaporization time: After normal semen is ejaculated, it can become jelly due to the condensation and hydrolysis of the seminal vesicles. After 15-30 minutes, it becomes liquid due to the vaporization and hydrolysis of the male prostate. This is called sperm liquefaction. If semen still does not vaporize 30 minutes after ejaculation, it is considered abnormal.

4. Viscosity: Use a glass rod to touch the vaporized semen, and gently lift it to produce semen threads. If the semen is normal, the length of the semen thread should be less than 2 cm.

In addition, sperm pH, sperm motility and other indicators need to be tested to obtain accurate results. If a man finds that the above four indicators are not normal, he should go to the hospital for further testing.
