What color is healthy semen? Analysis of Eight Symptoms and Etiology of Abnormal Semen
Men are often ignorant of changes in semen, and semen testing can detect some subtle changes in themselves or their loved ones in a timely manner, which can be the earliest indicator of disease.
1、 What color will healthy semen be?
Generally speaking, the semen color of healthy men is translucent egg white like milk white.
For men who have not ejaculated for a long time, the semen may appear pale yellow and thicker. These are healthy semen colors.
2、 Analysis of Eight Symptoms and Etiology of Abnormal Semen
1. Yellowing of semen
If abstinence lasts for a long time, the color will become yellow due to changes in physical and chemical properties.
Frequent ejaculation can also cause yellowing of semen, but it is mostly caused by prostatitis.
When semen color turns yellow, accompanied by local discomfort, and even stench, it is likely that there is inflammation of the reproductive tract.
2. Cream or yellowish green
It indicates that there is inflammation in the reproductive tract, which is likely a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. At this time, a large number of pus balls can be seen in the semen under the microscope.
3. Pink or even blood color (red, brown, brown, etc.)
When there are red related colors in semen, such as red, pink, brown, and brown, it is important to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
If after ejaculation, it is found that the semen is pink or mixed with blood strands, most of this is caused by inflammation of the seminal vesicle; Inflammation of the seminal vesicle can cause congestion and edema in the seminal vesicle, and in severe cases, lead to capillary rupture and bleeding. "When the secretion and semen from the seminal vesicle pass through the seminal vesicle, they will mix with blood to produce 'blood essence'.".
In addition to seminal vesiculitis, which is the most common cause of blood sperm production, prostatitis also often involves the seminal vesicles, producing blood sperm.
4. Viscous semen
When semen is stored for a long time, it will cause the first ejaculation of semen to appear pale yellow and more viscous.
In addition, there may be inflammation of the prostate that causes semen to become sticky.
5. Particles in semen
Granular crystals in semen may be protein particles, pigment particles, and phospholipid bodies. It is normal for semen to liquefy after 30 minutes to 1 hour in air.
"If you still cannot liquefy, you are suffering from" non liquefaction of semen. ".
6. Thin semen
"Excluding excessive ejaculation, the causes of low semen volume include testicular dysfunction, urinary and reproductive system infections, tumors or cysts of the seminal vesicle, urethral stricture, or damage to the vas deferens caused by reproductive tract surgery.".
The specific reason is that you need to go to the hospital for semen analysis.
7. Jelly or block shaped semen
After 30 minutes to 1 hour of exposure to air, ejaculated semen should normally turn into a thin transparent liquid. If it is still jelly like, it is considered "non liquefied".
The common cause of semen non liquefaction is insufficient fibrinolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate due to seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis; Deficiency of trace elements, etc.
8. The semen has a peculiar smell
The newly discharged semen has a fishy odor. If the odor occurs, it must be abnormal, indicating inflammation.
Many diseases can cause abnormal odors in semen, and it is necessary to seek medical advice from a regular andrology hospital for a clear diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
If you find any of the above symptoms and abnormalities in sperm, please seek timely consultation and treatment from a professional hospital.
