The sperm comes out in a jelly-like state.

Boys are prone to spermatorrhea during puberty, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If men do not have sex or masturbate, the sperm concentration will be very high. When boys have nocturnal emission, the semen will be jelly-like. This is because the sperm does not liquefy. In addition, when boys have symptoms such as seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis, their semen will also not liquefy.

Nocturnal emission is a common physiological phenomenon in men after sexual maturity, and is generally more common in men who do not masturbate or have sex. If after nocturnal emission, the sperm appears jelly-like, the first thing to consider is that the sperm does not liquefy, but there are many reasons for sperm not liquefying, such as chronic prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis and reproductive system infection, which can all cause sperm to appear jelly-like or gelatinous. Therefore, once the patient finds that the sperm has clinical manifestations, the first thing to do is to conduct a routine semen examination, and at the same time check the prostatic fluid to determine whether the sperm characteristics are abnormal due to reproductive system diseases. If there is such an abnormal situation, timely intervention and treatment will be sufficient. During the treatment period, you should avoid staying up late, drinking, sitting for a long time, or eating spicy or stimulating food, which may aggravate sperm production and excretion problems.

What does sperm look like? What are the factors that affect sperm health?

Sperm morphology

Sperm is like a "tadpole", divided into three parts: head, body, and tail. The head is involved in fertilization. The cell nucleus is in the head and contains half of the human genetic material, that is, 23 chromosomes. The tail swings to enable the sperm to move.

Standard sperm

1. Semen volume: Each ejaculation volume is 2-6 ml, but it is affected by the frequency and number of ejaculation. If the semen volume is less than 1 ml/time, it is called semen volume reduction, and if the semen volume is more than 6 ml/time, it is called semen volume excess, which are all abnormal situations.

2. Semen color: Normal semen is transparent grayish white. If the abstinence period is long, it may be light yellow. If there is inflammation in the reproductive tract, the semen may be yellow or even contain blood.

3. Sperm density: Sperm density refers to the number of sperms contained in each milliliter of semen. Normally, the number of sperms per milliliter of semen is more than 20 million. If it is less than 20 million/ml, it is oligospermia, which will affect fertility.

4. Semen liquefaction time: Semen is in a gel state when it is just discharged from the body. It will become a liquid state after 5-30 minutes. This process is called liquefaction. The liquefaction of semen requires the participation of a series of proteolytic enzymes. Semen that is viscous and not liquefied. It is common in patients with prostate or seminal vesicle diseases. Semen is weakly alkaline, with a pH value between 7.2 and 7.8. If the pH is <7, it is acidic, and if the pH is >8, it is alkaline, which will restrict sperm function.

5. Sperm 1-hour survival rate: The percentage of active sperm within 1 hour after ejaculation should be no less than 60%.

Five factors that affect sperm

1. Car exhaust

Nowadays, people living in big cities cannot do without masks. Especially for women who are preparing to get pregnant, the sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide contained in automobile exhaust may not only increase the incidence of diseases such as tumors, but most seriously, the dioxins contained in exhaust are extremely strong environmental endocrine disruptors, which can change the shape of men's testicles, reduce the number of sperm, and reduce spermatogenesis.

2. Tobacco and alcohol

Smoking is harmful to health, especially to semen. Compared with non-smokers, smokers have significantly lower indicators of semen quality, higher sperm deformity rate, and more white blood cells in semen. Alcohol has a direct impact on the human liver and male testicles. Excessive alcohol intake by the liver will cause testicular atrophy, leading to a decrease in semen quality.

3. Noise and radiation

Noise can disrupt the body's endocrine system, leading to abnormalities in semen and sperm. Long-term noise pollution can cause male infertility; for women, it can cause miscarriage and fetal malformations. Large doses of radiation can cause changes in testicular tissue structure, increase the rate of sperm deformity, and reduce important indicators such as sperm count and sperm density.

4. Frequency of sexual intercourse

In order to increase the success rate, some prospective parents reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse to improve the quality of sperm. In fact, if a man only ejaculates 1-2 times a month, the number of sperm will increase, but the activity and survival rate of sperm will decrease, and the proportion of aging sperm will increase significantly, which is not conducive to conception. Experts recommend that sexual life should be moderate to 1-2 times a week, and women can increase the frequency appropriately before and after ovulation.

If you want to be a father, it is not as simple as just having sex. If you want to have a healthy baby, you must do enough preparation for pregnancy and change some of your bad habits and hobbies. Maybe, your dream baby will come as promised one day.
