How to check male secretions

Compared with male friends, female friends generally care more about the hygiene and health of their lower body. However, when men reach a certain age, they will also be very concerned about diseases related to their secretions. For example, there are problems such as low semen and low sperm survival rate in male semen. If a man finds that his secretions are abnormal, he should go to the hospital for a secretion examination. How do men check their secretions?

Semen test strips

What is a semen test strip? Literally, it is a test strip for detecting sperm. Sperm density is the number of sperm per milliliter, which determines the quality and fertility of male sperm and provides a physiological reference for couples preparing to get pregnant.

From the semen test strip, you can see the quality of sperm and whether the man has fertility. Pre-pregnancy semen selection and testing can not only rule out infertility, but is also a necessary condition for having a healthy baby.

Semen quality is directly related to fertility. Semen test strips can accurately detect sperm density, help men prepare for pregnancy more smoothly, improve their diet in time to improve sperm quality, and eliminate infertility symptoms for timely treatment.

What are the characteristics of semen test strips? More and more men are starting to use semen test strips, which has a lot to do with its characteristics.

1. The semen test strips are highly sensitive, with an accuracy rate of over 99.99%.

2. The operation is simple and you can do it easily at home without going to the hospital, reducing the waiting time in line.

3. The test is fast, only one drop of semen is needed each time, and the result will be available after waiting for 5 minutes.

4. It has high privacy protection and can be done at home without the embarrassment of public places.

Solids in semen

Generally, normal semen should be translucent, egg white-like milky white or grayish white. If ejaculation has not occurred for a long time, it will appear light yellow and relatively viscous.

The solids in semen may be prostatic fluid, which is normal. You just need to pay more attention to the hygiene of the genitals, nutrition, and exercise.

Of course, this may also be a phenomenon of semen not liquefying, which is due to insufficient fibrinolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate due to seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis. The lack of elements such as magnesium and zinc will cause congenital prostatitis.

Once inflammation occurs in the seminal vesicles or prostate, the secretion of the above factors will be disrupted, causing an increase in coagulation factors or a decrease in liquefaction factors, resulting in semen not liquefying.

Semen is granular

Semen is granular and is a type of semen that is not liquefied. During the journey of semen, sperm and epididymal fluid account for about 10%, and the seminal vesicle fluid produced by the seminal vesicle and the prostatic fluid produced by the prostate account for the other 90%, which together form semen.

The seminal vesicle fluid produced by the seminal vesicles produces a substance that can promote the coagulation of semen. Its main function is to prevent other harmful substances from causing damage and destruction to the sperm in the semen, thereby protecting the sperm.

The prostatic fluid produced in the prostate can promote the liquefaction of semen. This substance mainly contains some hydrolytic proteases, which then promote the liquefaction of semen.

When the prostate gland becomes diseased, it affects the secretion and production of proteolytic enzymes in the semen, which will cause problems with the liquefaction of your semen.

There is gelatin in the semen

Semen originally exists in the reproductive tract in liquid form. When the semen is ejected from the penis, it will immediately become a milky white or slightly yellow translucent jelly-like substance under the action of a protein-like substance secreted by the seminal vesicle. This is the semen property we usually see. At this time, the semen is "solidified" in the semen and cannot move freely. After 5-30 minutes, with the participation of a hydrolase secreted by the prostate, the semen liquefies and can change from a jelly-like state to a thin watery state.

The change of semen in this process has very important physiological significance. It is liquid at the beginning to facilitate semen ejaculation, and then becomes gel-like, which is beneficial for semen to stay in the vagina for a longer time and get sufficient rest and energy. Once liquefied, semen has enough energy to swim quickly to find the egg.

Is yellow semen normal?

Is it normal for semen to be yellow? It depends on the specific situation. What are the normal situations?

If the male abstains from sex for a long time, when he resumes his sexual life, the semen will turn yellow. If the time between ejaculations is too long, the components of the semen will undergo physiological changes, which will make the semen yellow. In addition, the viscosity of the semen is relatively high at this time, which limits the activity of the semen. In this case, as long as the sexual life returns to normal, it will be fine.

If a man's semen continues to be yellow, there may be a real problem. This is caused by reproductive system infection. The most common diseases are prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis.

Sperm abnormality is also one of the reasons for yellow semen. More than 20% of sperm in semen are abnormal. The abnormal sperm include different shapes of head, body and tail. Another reason for yellow semen is sperm agglutination. Due to the presence of sperm antibodies, sperm agglutinates itself.

Reasons for semen not liquefying

The main reason for semen not liquefying is some diseases. What are they?

1. Prostatitis: The prostate gland is involved in the coagulation and liquefaction of semen. The protease, lysozyme and other semen liquefaction factors produced by the prostate gland make semen liquefy. If the prostate gland becomes inflamed, the secretion of these factors will be impaired, the liquefaction factors will decrease, and the semen will not liquefy.

2. Seminal vesiculitis: The secretions of the seminal vesicle are involved in the coagulation and liquefaction process of semen. The coagulation factors produced by the seminal vesicle guide the coagulation of semen. If the seminal vesicle becomes inflamed, the secretion of the above factors will be blocked, resulting in an increase in coagulation factors and the failure of semen to liquefy.

3. Lack of trace elements: If men lack trace elements, such as magnesium and zinc, it will also lead to the phenomenon of semen not liquefying.
