What is the reason for too little semen? You can eat these foods by supplementing semen

What is the reason for too little semen? Sperm is produced by testicles. The seminal plasma is secreted by the prostate, seminal vesicle and bulbar gland of the urethra. So do you know why there is too little semen? The following editor will introduce to you the reason for too little semen.

What is the cause of oligospermia

Normal and healthy men usually excrete 2-6 ml of fluid per sexual intercourse. Those with less than 1 ml are called oligospermia. Too little semen can cause infertility. Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma, and sperm only accounts for a small part of the semen, so the decrease of semen is mainly caused by the decrease of seminal plasma. The main causes of oligospermia are:

The testicular function is low or the endocrine function is disordered, which makes the seminal vesicle and prostate gland that secrete seminal plasma develop poorly, thus the secretion of seminal plasma is reduced. When the seminal vesicle and prostate have pathological changes, their secretion function will be affected and the secretion of seminal plasma will be insufficient. Urethral stricture or urethral diverticulum can not completely discharge semen from the urethra, thus reducing the amount of semen discharged. In case of oligospermia, find out the cause and give symptomatic treatment.

In addition, some people excrete too little semen, which is not caused by any disease, but because the frequency of sexual intercourse is too frequent, so that the seminal plasma cannot be secreted in time. This situation will return to normal as long as the number of sexual intercourse is reduced.

Normal standard of sperm

Normal semen is grayish white, and becomes translucent milky white after liquefaction. Those who have not ejaculated for a long time may appear light yellow. Those whose semen is bright red, light red, dark red or soy sauce color and contains a large number of red blood cells are called hemosperms. Yellow or brown purulent semen may be seen in prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis due to non-specific inflammation of prostate and sperm, tuberculosis of reproductive system, tumor or stone. For normal healthy men, it doesn't matter what color and shape of semen is if there is no unclean sexual behavior or venereal disease. Male diseases can be diagnosed by studying semen on the surface. The sperm in semen is combined with the female egg to reproduce, which is the only function of semen. Therefore, if you swallow semen, it is absolutely impossible to cause a woman to become pregnant. For single men, if they don't have a partner, there is no need to worry about their semen problems. It is nothing but a nuisance. If the woman is still not pregnant after one year of marriage, then she should see a doctor to find out the cause of infertility.

If you take semen for examination, you should not ejaculate within 5 days before the examination. Generally, semen can be collected by masturbation or by condom during sexual intercourse. After the semen is taken, it should be put in a dry and clean bottle and sent for examination immediately.

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

Semen volume: normal ≥ 2ml. If it is more than 7ml, it is too much, not only the sperm density is reduced, but also it is easy to flow out of the vagina, so that the total number of sperm is reduced, which is common in seminal vesiculitis; Less than 2ml is too little semen, but usually less than 1ml is too little. At this time, the contact area between the semen and the female genital tract is small, or because the viscosity is not conducive to the sperm entering the female cervix, resulting in infertility, which is common in severe paragonadal inflammation, low testosterone level, ejaculatory duct obstruction, retrograde ejaculation, etc.

Color: normally gray white or slightly yellow. Milky white or yellow-green color indicates inflammation of the genital tract or accessory gonads; Pink, red, and red blood cells seen under the microscope are bloody semen, which is common in inflammation of accessory gonads and posterior urethra, and occasionally in tuberculosis or tumor.

PH: The normal pH of semen is 7.2~7.8. Less than 7.2 can be seen in ejaculatory duct obstruction or urine contamination; More than 7.8 can be seen in seminal vesicle inflammation or obsolete specimens.

Methods of improving sperm quality

According to the theory of kidney storing essence in traditional Chinese medicine, we should eat foods that can nourish the kidney and essence, such as yam, eel, ginkgo biloba, sea cucumber, frozen tofu, tofu skin, peanuts, walnuts, sesame, etc., in order to strengthen the body's immunity and improve the ability to produce sperm. This coincides with the nutriology of western medicine. Western medicine believes that sufficient protein and vitamins can promote sperm production, and vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin E can increase reproductive function. In addition, the lack of some trace elements such as zinc, manganese, selenium and other elements will also affect the fertility of men.

In addition, eating more green vegetables can help improve the quality of sperm, because green vegetables contain vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium and other ingredients conducive to sperm growth. Nuts and fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and should also be eaten more, which are conducive to the growth of sperm cells.

In particular, we should pay attention to the supplement of zinc. Animal foods generally contain more zinc than plant foods. Foods with more zinc include lean meat, liver, eggs, dairy products, cocoa, lotus seeds, peanuts, sesame, walnuts, laver, kelp, shrimp, sea fish, red bean, litchi, chestnut, melon seeds, almonds, celery, persimmons, etc.
