Sperm is like sticky yellow snot

Men's sperm is the main reproductive material for men. Many men think that there is no problem with their bodies, but their wives cannot conceive for a long time. In this case, they need to go for a physical examination of the couple in time. During some men's examinations, they find that their sperm is very thick, like a runny nose. So why is it that male sperm is so thick that it looks like runny nose?

Why does male sperm look like thick yellow snot?

Consider that the sperm does not liquefy. Normal semen is viscous, milky white, with a grayish-white consistency. The consistency vaporizes spontaneously in about 30 minutes, turning into transparent, turbid, thinner mucus. The reason why sperm does not liquefy is due to lack of or damage to the metabolism of proteolytic enzymes, resulting in an imbalance of cofactors. This causes the sperm of some patients to not vaporize even after being left for 1 hour, or the vaporization is incomplete and the viscosity is too high.

What does semen not liquefy mean?

Lack of liquefaction of semen is a pathological condition. Under normal circumstances, men's semen vaporizes when it is ejaculated out of the body, but within a short period of time, it will condense into jelly or small pieces. In 10-30 minutes, the semen will vaporize into a liquid. This process is the vaporization of semen. This is a normal physiological phenomenon.

If the sperm remains in a jelly-like state for more than 30 minutes after it is discharged from the body, it is a pathological condition, which means that the sperm does not liquefy. The components of the male prostate and seminal vesicles participate in the coagulation and vaporization process of semen. The coagulation factors produced by the seminal vesicles cause semen to coagulate, while the sperm liquefaction factors such as protein-lytic enzymes and fibrinolytic trypsin produced by the male prostate liquefy the sperm.

When the seminal vesicles or male prostate become inflamed, the metabolism of these factors will be hindered, resulting in an increase in coagulation factors or a decrease in vaporization factors, resulting in semen liquefaction syndrome.

Ways for men to improve sperm quality:

Under normal circumstances, the testicles produce approximately hundreds of millions of sperm every day, and they are extremely sensitive to the influence of temperature. Once the temperature around the testicles rises, it may hinder the spermatogenesis of the testicles or cause the spermatogenic squamous epithelial cells of the testicles to decline, causing abnormal sperm production at night. The main manifestations are a decrease in the number of sperm in the semen, a decrease in male sperm motility, an increase in sperm abnormalities, and in severe cases, azoospermia may even occur.

1. Sitting for a long time

Sitting for a long time will compress the testicles and prostate, especially in a soft sitting position. The blood circulation in the testicles is blocked and the local temperature rises. Coupled with the compression, the human organ will become hematoma, which can easily cause inflammation, such as prostatitis. If there is inflammation, semen quality will certainly be affected. Therefore, men who need to sit for long periods of time at work should remember to stand up every now and then, drink a glass of water, and walk. If you like to ride a bicycle, temporarily put aside your hobby and produce your male sperm.

2. Tight pants

Many men like to wear jeans, which gives people a free and uninhibited feeling, and some also like to wear tight underwear. Although jeans and tight underwear are very convenient to wear, they will hinder the blood circulation of the male testicles and increase the average temperature around the male testicles by 3.5°C! During pregnancy preparation, it is better to wear looser sports pants or cotton pants. If a boy is born later, he should wear less jeans.

3. High-temperature showers and saunas

Sauna, steam room, hot tub and car electric heating equipment all increase the temperature of the male scrotum. When the testicular temperature exceeds 40°C for a long time, the sperm motility rate will be significantly reduced. Therefore, during pregnancy preparation, it is best to take a bath with ultra-low temperature boiling water!
