Many young couples in modern times may encounter some problems while preparing for pregnancy, including normal conditions and the possibility of pathological changes. Some couples have low sperm and egg quality, leading to poor fertility or difficulty conceiving. Normal semen and eggs are necessary to conceive a healthy baby. So what are the characteristics of normal semen, and can pale yellow sperm conceive? Follow the editor to learn more.
What are the characteristics of normal semen
1. Semen volume. The normal amount should be greater than or equal to 2ml (milliliters). If it exceeds 7ml, it is considered excessive. If the total amount is less than 2ml, it is considered low semen volume, and less than 1ml is considered insufficient, which can easily lead to infertility.
2. The normal color is gray white or slightly yellow. If the semen appears milky white or yellow green, it indicates inflammation in the male reproductive tract or accessory glands. If pink, red, or red blood cells can be seen under a microscope, it is bloody semen, commonly seen in patients with accessory glands and posterior urethritis, and occasionally in patients with tuberculosis or tumors.
3. After normal semen ejaculation, it will become gelatinous under the action of seminal vesicle coagulase, and after 15-30 minutes, it will become liquid under the action of prostatic liquefying enzyme, which is called semen liquefaction.
4. Contact the liquefied semen with a glass rod and gently lift it to form semen strands. If the semen is normal, the length of the semen filament should be less than 2 centimeters.
Can pale yellow sperm become pregnant
1. There are generally two reasons for the yellowing of sperm: prolonged absence of ejaculation and a yellowish color of semen, which is normal; People with prostate and severe inflammation may also experience yellow semen.
2. If there is no sexual activity for a period of time, yellowing of semen will not affect pregnancy. If there is frequent urination and urgency, as well as painful ejaculation, it may be caused by prostatitis and requires anti-inflammatory treatment, which can also affect the chances of pregnancy.
The color of sperm can reflect certain problems, but it cannot be judged solely by color. Sperm also has many characteristics. If there are any abnormalities, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination. It is recommended that young couples preparing for pregnancy exercise more, avoid staying up late, pay attention to balanced diet, moderate sexual activity, and preferably undergo pre pregnancy examinations to avoid certain diseases affecting the quality of fertilized eggs and causing stress during pregnancy.
