What does normal semen look like?

Update Date: Source: Network

Normal semen is usually viscous and jelly-like, with a grayish white or milky white color. It is opaque and begins to liquefy within 5 minutes after ejaculation. This is due to the relative changes in coagulation and liquefaction factors in the semen. If the semen does not liquefy, attention should be paid to whether it is caused by disease.

1. In daily life, one can understand the health status of sperm from its liquefaction state. For example, if the semen does not liquefy or has transparent solids after more than 60 minutes, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by semen non-liquefaction syndrome, which may also be related to some inflammations of the urinary and reproductive systems.

2. If a man experiences semen non-liquefaction, a targeted systematic examination should be performed to understand the causes, such as the lack of trace elements like magnesium and selenium, or psychological factors causing sperm non-liquefaction or incomplete liquefaction. In such cases, relative drug treatment may be considered.

3. For both husband and wife, normal sperm and egg combination is necessary to conceive a healthy baby. Therefore, both men and women should pay special attention to reproductive health issues. When abnormalities are found, active examination and treatment should be sought.
