    Changes in sperm color are a direct indicator of men’s health, and many men must be worried about changes in their sperm color. So what should we do if the internet editor informs us of the sperm color change?

    1. How to make the color of sperm normal?

    According to the normal semen standards required by the World Health Organization, judging whether semen is normal can be analyzed from the following aspects:

    Under normal circumstances, the color of semen is usually off-white or slightly yellow. If milky white or light green appears, it indicates inflammation of the reproductive system or accessory sex hormones.

    The color of semen is determined by the components that make up the semen. Normal people's semen is grayish white or slightly beige. If the abstinence period is longer, the color will be yellower due to changes in physical and chemical properties. This is all normal.

    2. What diseases can occur if the sperm color is abnormal?

    Under normal circumstances, semen should be transparent and egg white-like in color. The semen of a man who has not ejaculated for a long time can be light yellow or light yellow and thicker.

    When a boy's reproductive system is inflamed, his semen may appear light yellow. The reason why male sperm are bright red is that during ejaculation, the seminal vesicle glands produce obvious menstrual contractions, which causes the permeability change of the capillaries of the seminal vesicle gland wall, allowing the blood cells in the blood vessels to infiltrate into the semen. When the frequency of sexual intercourse is low, the secretion in the seminal vesicles continues to increase, which increases the pressure. The pressure on the seminal vesicles of men during ejaculation suddenly decreases, causing the capillaries to burst and bleed. The specificity of enzymes that dissolve tissue fibrin in the semen of men with allergies increases, causing damage to the capillaries on the wall of the seminal vesicles and causing bleeding.

    3. Reasons that affect the color change of sperm

    Semen is composed of male sperm and seminal plasma. Male sperm accounts for only a small part, more than 90% is seminal plasma. Seminal plasma is metabolized by peripheral sex hormones such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and paraurethral glands. The main component is water, but also contains various components such as fat, protein particles, melanin particles, and glucose.

    Normal people's semen is gray, milky white or light yellow. If the abstinence period is longer, the color will be yellower due to changes in physical and chemical properties. This is all normal. The semen is light green at night, indicating inflammation in the reproductive system, which is likely to be a purulent infection of the male prostate and seminal vesicles.

    The semen is bright red or raw, indicating that there are blood cells in the semen, which is generally called "ejaculation bleeding". Ejaculatory bleeding is mostly caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis, and ejaculated bleeding is often dark red. If a small blood vessel ruptures due to vascular malformation, ejaculation bleeding will be red and blood clots may be seen.
