In modern society, especially for married men, life is becoming more and more stressful. As the breadwinners of the family, they often shoulder heavier responsibilities and pressures, which in many cases exceed the level of women who can bear it. This stress not only makes them mentally exhausted, but it can also affect physical health. In the face of life's challenges, men need to maintain good health in order to better give and contribute to their families.
However, looking at the health status of modern men, it is not difficult to find that many people are in a sub-health state. Unhealthy lifestyle habits and eating patterns are a significant cause of this problem. Not only does this affect their day-to-day performance, but more seriously, this lifestyle can have a negative impact on their reproductive health. The decline in sperm quality is not only related to the health of men, but may also affect the health of the next generation.
Whether the quality of male sperm is good or not can be judged by these 4 aspects, and you may wish to check yourself
Semen color determination: High-quality semen is usually a sign of male fertility. Normally, semen should be grayish-white with high transparency. Prolonged absence from sex may cause semen to appear yellowish and thicken. In a reproductive infection, the semen may turn yellow or even appear bloodshot. These changes indicate a possible health problem and prompt medical attention.
Semen liquefaction process: After the semen is discharged, it will change from liquid to gelatinous and should be re-liquefied within about 30 minutes. If liquefaction does not occur, it may suggest an underlying problem with the reproductive system, such as the prostate, which may affect fertility.
Change in semen volume: The normal ejaculate volume for a healthy adult male is approximately between 1.5 and 6 ml. Frequent sexual activity or prolonged inactivity can affect semen volume. Abnormal ejaculate volume, whether too much or too little (more than 7 ml or less than 1.5 ml), may indicate a reproductive health problem.
Semen odor: Normally, semen will have a specific odor, but it should not be too pungent. Abnormal odor may indicate a health problem in the reproductive system, such as inflammation, which affects sperm quality.
What is the reason for the yellowing of male semen?
In general, normal semen is usually milky or off-white. However, the yellow color of semen can be due to a variety of reasons, including physiological and pathological factors. On the physiological side, for example, a long absence of ejaculation can cause semen to accumulate and concentrate in the body, which in turn turns yellowish. Increasing the number of ejaculations usually lightens this color. In addition, the semen of older men usually has a darker yellow color. The effects of the drug should also not be ignored, such as people who take vitamins sometimes find that their semen turns yellow. Lifestyle factors, such as alcohol consumption, overwork, or excessive intake of irritating foods, can also cause the body to become angry, which can affect the color of the semen.
From a pathological point of view, infections of the reproductive system, such as vesiculitis, prostatitis, or epididymitis, may cause yellowing of semen. In addition, certain systemic diseases, such as kidney or liver disease, as well as acute infections, can also cause discoloration of semen. In particular, in hepatobiliary disorders, such as cholestatic jaundice or hepatocellular jaundice, patients may experience yellowing of semen, accompanied by other symptoms such as yellowing of urine, yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes, etc.
= Therefore, observing changes in the color of semen is essential to monitor the health of men. If any abnormalities occur, it is advisable to consult a medical professional for further examination and diagnosis.
