Patient's question:
Hello:I had a semen analysis because I am getting married. The semen was obtained through masturbation. The results showed: 18.28% rapid forward movement, 30.11% slow or sluggish forward movement, 9.68% non-forward movement, and 41.94% very slow or immobile. The average curvilinear velocity was 25.19 (μm/s), the motility rate was 58.06%, and the abnormal morphology rate was 24.73%. The doctor said my motility was insufficient. I had a color Doppler ultrasound for varicocele, which was normal. My girlfriend insists on another test (10 days later), and on that day, I should have produced semen after holding it back.
Doctor's answer:
Normal semen freshly emitted is viscous, milky white, and contains grayish-white clumps. About 10 to 20 minutes later, the clumps liquefy on their own, turning into a translucent, cloudy, thin viscous fluid. If you want to know if it affects fertility, you can abstain from sexual activity for three to seven days and have the male go to the hospital for a sperm test to find out. For reference.
