The smell of semen ejaculated by men is produced by prostatic fluid, and the chemicals of sperm ammonia are oxidized and emitted, much like the smell of chestnut flowers or the smell of fishy odor.
When prostate secretion is impaired, semen can lack this fishy odor.
Thus feeling that the sperm has no smell. At this time, you should pay attention to your prostate, because most of the components of semen are prostate fluid, and the smell of semen is mainly related to prostatic fluid.

Prostate disease or seminal vesicle disease may cause semen odor. See if it is accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, and whether it is accompanied by symptoms such as less abdominal pain and testicular discomfort.
You can go to the regular cause to find a urology department or andrology department to check the prostatic fluid. See if there is an infection.
If after frequent intercourse or frequent masturbation, the secretion function of the prostate and seminal vesicle glands is reduced, the number of sperm in the semen will be reduced, and the semen odor will be insufficient at this time.
In addition to paying attention to its smell, the analysis of semen quality cannot be determined from a certain indicator of semen alone, and a comprehensive analysis of multiple indicators should be carried out.
Commonly used indicators to assess semen quality include relevant indicators such as semen ph, amount of sperm once ejaculated, semen color, liquefaction time, viscosity, sperm concentration and sperm motility.
