Why does sperm smell fishy?

Normal men's semen has a fishy smell, like the smell of chestnut flowers. This smell is attributed to a compound of spermine in the male prostate. When it is oxidized by the air with the participation of seminal vesicle fluid, it will emit a strange smell. So why does sperm smell fishy? What does normal sperm smell like?

1. Semen is a body sensation just like saliva, gastric juice, and blood, but the smell of semen is more unique. Semen is not simply a liquid like blood. In addition to sperm, semen also contains seminal plasma, as well as various secretions such as seminal fluid, epitesticular fluid, seminal vesicle fluid, urethral orifice, ejaculatory duct, etc.

2. The smell of normal semen is produced by the oxidation of spermine compounds, which is somewhat like the smell of chestnut blossoms. Spermine is one of the most important components of male prostate secretions. The oxidation of spermine requires the participation of seminal vesicle fluid. Semen can be obtained through duodenal massage, which is different from the smell of natural male ejaculated semen.

3. The smell of normal ejaculated semen comes from the male prostate. The smell can only be released with the participation of seminal vesicle fluid. Once the semen lacks this unique smell, it means that the prostate function has been damaged. Among many patients with prostate disease, the ejaculated semen tends to smell fishy and very pungent. Everyone should pay attention to this.

In general, if the male sperm smells very fishy, ​​it indicates that the male prostate is inflamed. Male friends need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. There are many reasons that affect the smell of male sperm. In addition to the symptoms of the male prostate, it may also be related to food. If you eat too much meat, the smell of sperm will change. In order to prevent inflammation in men and avoid infertility, you should receive treatment as soon as possible.
