Patient's question:
Semen check: Color is creamy yellow, Semen volume is 3ml. Sperm count is 60×, viscosity + survival rate is 40%, with poor vitality. WBC is few. Previously, the survival rate was 80% with good vitality. Is there anything abnormal?Doctor's answer:
The normal color of semen is grayish-white or milky white. If a man has abstained from ejaculation for a long time, the semen may appear pale yellow. If it appears bright red or dark red, it indicates inflammation or damage to the reproductive tract. Regarding whether the liquefaction of semen turning yellow is normal, a conclusion can only be drawn based on hospital tests. Sometimes the symptoms may disappear quickly, but if they persist, it is advisable to seek medical attention. The volume of semen expelled during ejaculation is usually between 2 to 6 milliliters and is often influenced by the frequency and frequency of ejaculation. Fresh semen may have a thick, jelly-like consistency, and it should liquefy into a thin liquid within one hour. If a small glass rod is inserted into the semen and then lifted, the length of the semen strand formed should generally not exceed 2 centimeters; otherwise, it indicates abnormal semen. Consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits while reducing the intake of greasy and spicy foods can help prevent internal dampness and external dampness, which in turn can prevent the confusion between clear and turbid semen and its liquefaction.
