Yu Fan has a special "hobby". Whenever she is intimate with her husband, she will be very happy as long as her husband ejaculates more semen. If her husband's semen is particularly small, she will definitely feel uncomfortable that night. In Yu Fan's mind, he always thinks that his husband's low semen means low sperm volume. Is this really the case? Let's look at the knowledge below.

Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. More than 90% is seminal plasma, but sperm only accounts for a very small part, about 1%. Seminal plasma is secreted by accessory sex glands such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and paraurethral glands. Its main components are water, fat, protein particles, and other components. Therefore, slight changes in semen volume will not affect the sperm count.

Normal men emit 2 to 6 ml of semen during each ejaculation. When the semen volume is less than 2 ml, it can be confirmed as oligospermia. When there is too little semen, the alkaline secretions of the semen are not enough to dilute the acidic secretions in the vagina, thus affecting sperm motility. Too little semen affects sperm entering the uterus, leading to male infertility.

Among infertile patients, only 2% have low semen volume. Therefore, when analyzing the reasons for the reduction, the effect of too short an abstinence period should first be eliminated. The most accurate measurement of semen volume is only after 5 to 7 days of abstinence. It is also a normal physiological phenomenon for adult men after the age of 40 to experience a slight decrease in semen volume, so there is no need to worry too much.

For men, if they only have sex with fixed sex partners, the number of sperm in their bodies is generally less than that of men who like to try new things. Therefore, men with multiple sex partners are affected by external pressure. It stimulates a man's sexual desire and the number of sperm will increase accordingly. Studies have shown that men produce two types of sperm, one of which is designed to fertilize an egg. They will keep rushing forward during their short life until they find an unfertilized egg. Another type of sperm is designed to defeat sperm from other men. The change in sperm number is called "sperm competition."

Research has found that the length of time male sperm spends with a fixed sex partner and the frequency of changing sex partners will affect reproductive capacity. Physiological oligospermia often does not require treatment, as long as the interval between intercourse is prolonged. Therefore, for those women who are unhappy because their husbands have less semen, after reading the above knowledge, maybe you don’t have to worry anymore.
