What are the components contained in sperm?

The main components of sperm include protein, fructose, fat, and enzymes. If there are problems with male sperm, it will affect fertility, and in severe cases, it can lead to infertility. Therefore, if there is no successful pregnancy after a long time, it is necessary to examine the semen and sperm, and also make a preliminary judgment through visual inspection to check the amount, color, and smell of the semen to see if there are any abnormalities. To determine the quality of sperm, the following aspects can be considered:

Clinical statistics show that the normal semen volume for men is approximately 3-6ml per ejaculation. If the semen volume is consistently low, it may indicate oligospermia. Conversely, if the semen volume is excessively high, there may be issues with sperm density.

The normal semen color for men is milky white, resembling jelly, which later becomes transparent and fluid-like. Any yellowish or reddish tint is abnormal.

Normal semen has almost no smell or a slight fishy odor. A foul odor indicates a problem.

For the most precise and detailed observation, it is recommended that patients undergo sperm quality testing at a reputable hospital.

Typically, the sperm count in semen ejaculated by a male ranges from 20 million to 200 million per milliliter. Oligospermia refers to a sperm count below 20 million per milliliter, while polyspermia refers to a sperm count exceeding 300 million per milliliter.

Patients who do not have sperm detected in three semen examinations are diagnosed with azoospermia.
