A male ejaculation can release about 200 million sperm, and finally only one sperm "breaks out of the encirclement" into the egg cell, forming a zygote, and life begins. And high-quality sperm is the foundation of the origin of life.
Generally speaking, sperm quality includes semen volume, sperm density and total number of sperm in semen, sperm agglutination, sperm motility and viability, sperm morphology, semen liquefaction and seminal plasma composition, which can be detected through routine semen tests in clinical practice.
What would normal sperm look like?
1. The color is gray white or slightly yellow.
The normal value of semen volume should be ≥ 1.5ml. If it is less than 1.5ml, it indicates that the semen volume is too low, and the contact area between the semen and the female reproductive tract is small; When the volume is greater than 7ml, it indicates an excessive amount of semen. This condition not only reduces sperm density, but also makes it easy to flow out of the vagina.
3. After normal semen is ejaculated, it becomes gelatinous under the action of seminal vesicle coagulase. If semen does not liquefy 60 minutes after ejaculation, it is considered abnormal.
4. Sperm count is generally expressed as the number of sperm per milliliter of semen. Normal count ≥ 15 × 106/ml。 Below this value, it indicates oligozoospermia, which can be caused by various reasons such as spermatogenic dysfunction.
How to improve the quality of sperm?
1. To improve sperm quality, it is necessary to increase physical exercise appropriately. Excessive obesity in males can lead to an increase in temperature in the groin, which is not conducive to sperm growth and thus affects fertility;
2. Avoid high temperatures. The temperature of the testicles is lower than that of other parts of the body. High temperature steam baths can directly harm sperm and also inhibit sperm production;
3. Relax both physically and mentally. Excessive mental pressure is not conducive to sperm growth, and relaxing the mood can increase the chances of conception;
Eating more green vegetables, quitting smoking and alcohol, can also improve sperm quality.
About sperm cold knowledge:
1. Sperm is produced in the testes, and it takes approximately 10 weeks for sperm to mature.
2. Mature sperm are stored in the epididymis.
3. Sperm is the smallest cell in the body and requires balanced capacity supplementation.
4. It is necessary to produce a large number of healthy sperm at a temperature 3-5 degrees below body temperature.
5. An adult male can produce 70-200 million sperm per day.
There are approximately 3 million sperm at the tip of an erect penis.
During ejaculation, the sperm can move at a speed of up to 28 miles per hour.
8. Sperm in the epididymis is transported through the vas deferens, which contains a fluid rich in fructose, which is equivalent to rocket fuel and helps with sperm transport.
It swims 12 inches per hour.
10. Most of the alkaline substances in semen contribute to the journey of sperm.
Male sperm can only live for up to 24 hours outside the body
Normal sexual maturity men ejaculate tens of millions or even as many as 200 million sperm at a time, but most of these sperm lose their vitality and die in the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract. Generally speaking, the lifespan of sperm in the vagina does not exceed 8 hours, and only a small portion of sperm escape and continue to move forward.
Health is priceless
