Can the inflammation be detected through the examination of semen?

Patient's question:

I found that I have candidal vaginitis. I received intravenous fluids for seven consecutive days. Can my husband check his semen to see if he has inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Clinical significance of semen analysis: General semen analysis helps in the diagnosis of male reproductive capacity and reproductive system diseases.
1. Color
Fresh red, pale red, dark red, or soy sauce-like color: Seen in tuberculosis, tumors, stones, and inflammation of the prostate and seminal vesicles. Yellow purulent or brown purulent: Seen in prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. Rice-water-like: Seen in congenital absence of seminal vesicles or blockage of the seminal fluid outflow duct.
2. Appearance
Thin semen with decreased viscosity indicates too few sperm or azoospermia. Nonliquefaction of semen is seen in prostatitis.
3. Semen volume that is too small (less than 2 ml) or too large (more than 8 ml) is also unfavorable for fertility.
