Are granular sperm normal?

When men ejaculate, some men will notice particles in their semen. We all know that semen is liquid, so why are there particles? Today, I will give you a detailed introduction to the reasons why there are particles in semen and what to do about it. Will particles in semen affect pregnancy?

? I believe everyone is very concerned about this issue, let’s take a look at it together.

1. What is the reason for particles in semen?

Sperm originally exists in liquid state in the reproductive system. When semen is ejected from the male genitalia, it will immediately turn into a milky white or slightly yellowish transparent jelly under the action of a protein substance metabolized by the seminal vesicles. This is the appearance of semen we usually see.

At this time, the semen is "condensed" in the sperm and cannot move freely. After 5-30 minutes, with the participation of a hydrolase in male prostate metabolism, it automatically changes from a jelly-like state to a thinner water-like sample. This is called sperm liquefaction.

Normal semen becomes small, thick particles that can vaporize in 10-30 minutes. If it still does not liquefy and becomes jelly-like, it means that the sperm does not liquefy. The key is that the male sperm lacks the vaporization coefficient. For example, when the male prostate is inflamed, the metabolism of protease is insufficient or damaged, resulting in an imbalance of the enzyme system, which will lead to the failure of semen to liquefy.

2. Is it normal if there are particles in the semen?

Whether the semen is normal is not determined by the particles, but mainly by the following aspects.

Normal sperm density just ejaculated is 2-6ml. It is viscous and milky white with a grayish consistency. After about 10-20 minutes, the consistency evaporates on its own and becomes a transparent, turbid, thin mucus.

The smell of semen is caused by the arginine metabolized by the male prostate in the semen. It is a unique fishy smell, much like the smell of chestnut flowers.

The normal sperm survival rate should be above 70%, grade A and slightly slower sperm B (grade A grade B)
