Ejaculated sperm has a strange smell

It is generally normal for the ejaculated sperm to have a strange smell. Normal semen is white or light yellow with a special fishy smell. Of course, if there is a problem with the reproductive system, not only will the color of the semen change, the smell may also change, and even cause hematospermia. At this time, you should be alert to some men's diseases and go to the hospital for a routine semen examination in time.

Normal semen is off-white or slightly yellowish, with a special fishy smell. The smell is emitted by a chemical called spermine after oxidation, which is very similar to the smell of chestnut flowers. Spermine is one of the many important components contained in prostate secretions, and the oxidation of spermine must pass through sexual excitement and ejaculation, when the prostate secretes prostatic fluid and seminal vesicle fluid to work together to produce the smell.

It can be seen that during normal ejaculation, the smell of 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 prostate function damage, and the semen of many prostate patients often does not have this smell.

1. Changes in semen odor

Abnormal semen includes: milky white or slightly yellow-green semen, indicating inflammation in the reproductive tract, most likely a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. Red semen indicates that the semen contains red blood cells, commonly known as "hematospermia". Hematospermia is mostly caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis. This type of hematospermia caused by inflammation is mostly light red. If small blood vessels rupture due to vascular malformations, hematospermia will be bright red and contain blood clots.

2. Be alert to men's diseases

Normal ejaculated semen has a smell that comes from the prostate, but it is emitted with the help of seminal vesicle fluid. The lack of this special smell in semen often indicates prostate dysfunction, and many prostate patients often do not have this smell in their semen. Therefore, you should be alert to changes in the smell of semen and go to the hospital for examination in time if necessary. Don't take it lightly.

3. Diet can also change your smell

The composition of semen is not fixed and changes over time. Semen ejaculated during the day may contain more sperm and semen, while semen ejaculated at night may contain more prostatic fluid. Foods that affect the taste of semen include asparagus, chicken, dairy products, red meat, cauliflower, broccoli, greasy foods, spices, coffee and chocolate, which can make semen taste strange. It is unpleasant, so it should be consumed in moderation. Garlic and onions should be eaten as little as possible, as they will make semen thicker.
