Is it better for the sperm to be thicker or thinner?

The number of male sperm is completely incomparable with the number of female eggs. The number of sperm released by a male each time is in the hundreds of millions. It is not a good thing for male sperm to be too thick or too thin. Sperm is stored in the body before being released. Too frequent sex or some unhealthy sexual lifestyle will make the semen thinner. At the same time, when the male reproductive organs are inflamed, the sperm will become sticky.

Semen is stored in the body in a liquid state before it is ejaculated. When semen is ejected from the mouth of the penis, it will immediately turn into a milky white or yellowish translucent jelly under the action of a protein-like substance secreted by the seminal vesicles. This is the semen character that people usually see. At this time, the sperm is "coagulated" in the semen and cannot swim freely. After 5 to 30 minutes, with the participation of a hydrolase secreted by the prostate, the semen begins to liquefy, gradually turning from jelly to thin water.

This change process of semen has very important physiological significance: it is in a liquid state at the beginning to facilitate the ejaculation of semen.； It forms a gel immediately after ejaculation, which helps the semen stay in the vagina for a sufficient time so that the sperm can fully rest and be capacitated. ； Once liquefied, the sperm has enough energy to swim quickly and go straight to the egg for a "blind date."

If inflammation occurs in the prostate or seminal vesicles, due to lack of or destruction of hydrolase secretion, the semen of these patients may not liquefy for a long time or be incompletely liquefied after ejaculation, and some may even take half an hour or even an hour to liquefy. This is a pathological phenomenon, medically known as semen non-liquefaction.

Infertile patients with high semen viscosity can inject a few strands of semen into the vagina during ovulation, then withdraw the penis and discharge the second half of the semen out of the body. This can reduce the viscosity of the semen, facilitate the swimming of sperm, and increase the chance of conception. This ejaculation method is called "step ejaculation method".

If you have sexual intercourse and masturbate too frequently, your semen will become thinner and the smell of your semen will become "bland". As long as you "breath" for a few more days, the semen will not only become thicker again, but the smell of the semen will be the same as before, becoming very strong.
