After puberty, the continuous moisture forming in the testicles is called semen or sperm. It is produced and accumulates in the seminal vessels, and is ejaculated during ejaculation. It is a milky, thick moisture with a specific odor known as seminal odor. This moisture consists of two parts:
Liquid substance (liquor seminalis): Transparent like egg white.
Granular substance (granules seminal): Small granular particles containing sperm.
During ejaculation, a healthy man’s semen is 2 to 5 milliliters. The main components in the production of this substance include serum, albumin, glycithin, cholesterol, lecithin, and oily elements. The most crucial component in the production is sperm.
Types of Semen.
Incomplete Semen.
Less thickness and fewer sperm.
Doesn’t create stiffness or coagulation on drying.
Bloody Semen:
Contains a light red color.
Often associated with infections, inflammation, and frequent intercourse.
Watery Semen:
Resembles thin water and quickly dries on fabric.
Contains passive cells.
Best Semen:
Produced by a healthy individual.
Dries slowly, creating stiffness.
Common Misconceptions:
Drying Time of Healthy Male’s Ejaculate:
It dries slowly and hardens fabric.
Quantity and Thickness of Ejaculate on Sexual Organ’s Rigidity:
No direct impact on the standing ability of the male organ.
Comparison of a Drop of Semen to Blood Drops:
Baseless; semen’s value is similar to saliva, not blood.
Belief that Semen Doesn’t Stay Inside Female After Intercourse:
Incorrect; some semen remains and is gradually released.
Post-Prostate Gland Surgery Belief:
Retrograde ejaculation may occur, redirecting semen to the bladder.
Sperm Characteristics:
Sperm Length:
Approximately 0.05 cm.
Sperm Production:
Initiated at puberty and continues until death.
Follicle-stimulating hormone and testosterone influence the process.
Sperm Life:
Approximately 72 hours.
Shorter in acidic environments.
Maintaining good health, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and consuming natural, fresh foods are crucial for healthy sperm. Fertilization planning should also consider these aspects.
Semen Laboratory Analysis:
Laboratory tests on semen, known as semen analysis, are essential for diagnosing male infertility. Parameters include volume, consistency, liquefaction, sperm count, motility, morphology, and the presence of blood cells.
