Just like the female body, the male body also hides many mysteries. But the most common and mysterious questions are those about semen. We all know for sure that it contains sperm, but what else is in
it Because it sometimes looks and smells different
It should be noted that semen and sperm are not the same.
Semen is a microscopic cell that is part of the sperm. The sperm’s job is to fertilize the egg inside the woman’s body. To get there they are carried by fluids, which are produced by different male sexual organs.
Prostate fluid contains chemicals that make semen more liquid so sperm can swim more freely. All these components form sperm.
Semen contains vitamin B12, vitamin C, calcium, ascorbic acid, citric canid, lactic acid, fructose, zinc, magnesium, potassium, fat, sodium and many different proteins. But the amount of these nutrients is actually very small. The appearance of healthy sperm

The average amount of semen released during ejaculation is between 2 and 5 ml, which is equivalent to one teaspoon. But what may be truly surprising is knowing that within an average ejaculation there are between 15 million and 200 million spermatozoa.
Men can actually produce sperm for life, but it won’t always be that rich. According to one study, sperm produced by men over 52 is more likely to be abnormal than that of younger men.
Of course, sperm production is highest in men in their 20s, and can slowly decline after the age of 20.
There are several parameters to take into consideration to understand if the sperm is healthy or not. Color and shape are characteristics that can be assessed with the naked eye and that can set off alarm bells. The color of the semen White
semen Semen in its normal form is usually a cloudy white to grayish substance. At the time of ejaculation, the sperm is thick and viscous, but after 30 minutes it liquefies. Yellow semen
There is no need to be alarmed if your semen has turned yellow.
In fact, it is completely normal. As men age, the hue of the sperm also changes. If you haven’t had an ejaculation in a long time, you may notice a yellow color.
A good practice would be to urinate before engaging in sexual intercourse, because when a man has an erection the flow of urine is blocked, so that sperm can pass as the only way out. However, it is possible to find traces of urine, which can leak out and be the cause of a more yellowish ejaculation.
Other reasons for the yellowish color can be jaundice and leukocytopenia (high levels of white blood cells). These are normally accompanied by other bodily symptoms, so if you notice the yellow tint with abnormal symptoms, consult your doctor. The shape of the sperm
The morphology of the sperm is mainly investigated to check the fertility status of a man together with the number and motility of spermatozoa.
To understand what shape spermatozoa have, a sperm analysis test must be performed.
One of the important parameters in the test is morphology which refers to the shape and size of the sperm.
the shape of the spermatozoa gives us an idea of ​​the correct development of the spermatozoa or spermatogenesis that took place in the testicles.
Men with a defect in sperm maturation tend to have problems with sperm shape, which can, in turn, affect male fertility.
Normal sperm has an oval head with a long tail and should be free of any defects to fall into the category of normal sperm morphology. The morphology
Normal sperm morphology says that the head must be smooth and between 2.5 and 3.5 micrometers in width and 5-6 micrometers in length and an acrosome tip that occupies 40 to 70% of the sperm head space .
The acrosome is a single membranous organelle located above the front of the sperm nucleus that contains enzymes that help penetrate the egg’s membrane.
The head should not have a large fluid-filled vacuole, also it should not contain more than two small vacuoles and should not occupy more than 20% of the total head.
The area between the head and the tail known as the central part should be thinner than the head.
A straight, non-defective tail, 45 micrometers long, should be thinner than the head and center. My sperm is frothy –
it’s serious Foamy sperm can have to do with sperm leaking, before sperm.
The pre-ejaculation liquid hardly contains viable sperm. Most studies show that this liquid does not contain sperm or contains very small amounts. The sperm found in this fluid is very unlikely to cause pregnancy.
The job of this fluid is to act as a natural lubricant. It is released by glands called Cowper’s glands. How can I get my sperm back to normal
To have a healthy sperm, which reaches the right parameters, you need to adopt a healthy lifestyle. That is to say, you have to:
- Follow a healthy and balanced diet, rich in fruit and vegetables;
- Try to maintain a normal weight;
- Practice physical activity regularly;
- Preventing Stress;
- Don’t abuse alcohol;
- Not smoking;
- Avoid using lubricants.
Also, masturbating can help keep sperm healthy and sperm more snappy and quicker. A good habit would be to ejaculate every 2-3 days. In this sense, having an active life as a couple could help. This, in addition to improving the quality of the sperm, will prevent prostate cancer, because in doing so the agents responsible for this disease are also expelled.
