Why is the pregnancy rate relatively low with sperm in prostatic fluid?

Patient's question:

I am aware that prostatic fluid sometimes still contains sperm, but the amount is not very high. It is also possible to get pregnant, but the chances of pregnancy relying on prostatic fluid are still significantly lower compared to normal pregnancy rates. I once heard from an expert that the pH level in the vagina is conducive to sperm survival. It requires a certain number of sperm to dilute the vaginal pH, ensuring that a small portion of strong-living sperm can enter the cervix of the uterus, then into the uterus, and finally into the fallopian tubes waiting to combine with an egg. There are not many sperm in prostatic fluid, but there are still some individual strong-living ones, so it is still unsafe. However, whether it is generally that a small amount of sperm is less likely to enter the uterus or whether it is less likely to enter the fallopian tubes that requires more assistance: the amount of prostatic fluid that leaks out before ejaculation is approximately how many sperm it contains.

Doctor's answer:

I'm very sorry for explaining your question so late, please forgive me! Suggestions: 1. The substance excreted before ejaculation is prostatic fluid. Generally, the number of sperm it contains is very small, but it can also increase the chances of pregnancy for women. 3. Additionally, semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma, with sperm accounting for about 10%, and the rest being seminal plasma. Besides water, fructose, protein, and fat, it also contains various types of enzymes and inorganic salts. Semen contains zinc. Zinc is very important for the maturation of sperm, and a severe lack of it can lead to infertility. 4. Normal semen is milky white, light yellow, or colorless. The number of sperm per milliliter of semen is generally between 60 million and 200 million.
