Sperm smells very fishy

If a man's sperm has a strong fishy smell, it may be a symptom of prostatitis, because semen mainly comes from the prostate. If the prostate is inflamed, the taste of the semen will become thicker and the fishy smell will become stronger. Frequent sexual intercourse will also cause the sperm to have a stronger fishy smell. You can understand the reasons why men's sperm has a strong fishy smell and then adjust it.

Semen, like saliva, gastrointestinal fluid, and blood, is a body fluid, but only semen has the most noticeable smell. Semen is not as simple as other body fluids, it is a mixed fluid. In addition to sperm, other seminal components of semen are composed of prostatic fluid, epididymal fluid, seminal vesicle fluid, and various secretions from the urethra and vas deferens.

The smell of normal semen is emitted after the oxidation of a chemical called spermine, which is very similar to the smell of chestnut flowers. Spermine is one of the many important components contained in prostate secretions. The oxidation of spermine must be involved in the seminal vesicle fluid. The prostate fluid obtained through rectal massage generally does not have the smell of natural ejaculated semen. It can be seen that the smell of normal ejaculated semen comes from the prostate, but it is emitted with the participation of seminal vesicle fluid. The lack of this special smell in semen often indicates that the function of the prostate is damaged. Many prostate patients often do not smell this smell in their semen.

As for the physiological significance of the special smell of semen, it is speculated that it may be related to sexual desire and sexual behavior. In lower animals, the information of sexual activities and sexual selection of both sexes is mainly transmitted by smell; many mammals will emit a special smell during the estrus period to attract the opposite sex. Although the ways for humans to receive sexual stimulation have been continuously expanded in evolution, the position of smell in sexual selection has given way to vision. However, in recent years, scientists have discovered many secretions in the human body that can affect the opposite sex through smell, indicating that smell may still be one of the important sensory organs of the human body, and it is necessary to conduct in-depth research.

As for the smell of semen, there is no need to eliminate it, and it is impossible to eliminate it. It is right to love cleanliness, but if sex and semen are considered "dirty", it is obviously an outdated concept. In addition, I would like to warn those who love cleanliness that excessive use of "external things" such as deodorants or perfumes will make you lose the sexual charm of your natural body odor.

Semen itself has a special smell, so there is no need to worry. However, if the color or amount of semen is abnormal, it should be taken seriously and treated in a regular specialist hospital in time to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment to cure the disease in time to avoid damaging the health of sperm and affecting the continuation of the family line.
