To find out whether your sperm quality is good or not, the easiest to do is to see how much and how thick your semen or cement is when it is removed. You certainly can not count how many sperm contained in your semen to see if your sperm is good or not. However, does the viscosity of the semen you remove can be a picture of your sperm condition? Is the dilute sperm bad?
What are the signs of healthy sperm?
The signs of semen or healthy sperm can be seen from many factors, ranging from color, amount, smell, and others. In terms of color, normal semen usually has a white or grayish color, but sometimes also a bit yellowish. If your semen is pink or red, your semen may have mixed with blood.
Your semen when removed is like a gel and rather sticky. Then the semen will melt within 5-40 minutes. The semen that comes out and does not melt (stay thick) can inhibit the movement of sperm in the search for an egg in the woman's uterus. This may possibly cause fertility problems.
When viewed from volume, the average volume of semen that comes out is 2-5 ml (about half to one teaspoon). Less semen volume (less than 1.5 ml) is called hypospermia. This usually happens when you frequently ejaculate. Meanwhile, too much semen volume (more than 5.5 ml) is called hyperspermia, usually after you have not taken it out.
To see the sperm count, you need to do a test. And many factors influence the results of this test, such as the length of time between ejaculation and semen sample analysis, how the sample is stored, and so on. The total amount of sperm during normal ejaculation is about 40 million. Quite a lot is not it? In fact, you only need one sperm to be able to fertilize an egg.
