Causes of thick semen
Clots in semen do not always indicate pathological changes. This phenomenon is noted in men sometimes with the eruption of semen. However, it is not recommended to ignore changes in semen. Thick semen can be noted under the influence of certain factors: irregular intimate life, inflammation, malignant neoplasms.
Sperm with clots appears suddenly in the stronger sex. To determine a possible pathology, you need to pay attention to the symptoms and consult a urologist.
Sperm Composition Information
To determine the causes of sperm density, you need to familiarize yourself with its composition. An ejaculant is a composition of a secretion with sperm. The secret itself is extremely dense. It depends on the quantity of peptides. The density of the seminal fluid changes depending on the concomitant environment. The testes contain the fluid structure of the sperm. When ejaculant enters the vagina, it becomes jelly-like.
Why does semen thicken in the vagina? Thanks to this property, it does not flow out of it, but moves to the body of the uterus. When the sperm are able to enter the uterus, the ejaculant liquefies. In a liquid state, tadpoles move more easily to the oocytes. Sperm juice is produced by the prostate gland. When any pathologies occur in the composition of the seminal fluid, the properties change.
Sperm are essential for successful conception. Semen cells are produced in the testes. Each sperm has a head with a tail, which helps it to move. For high-quality conception, spermatozoa with a normal structure and moving straight are needed. When a pathological process occurs in the testicles, the seed begins to mutate, loses its mobility, cannot fertilize the egg.
What types of lumps are in the ejaculant
Clots in semen have a different structure and composition.
Doctors identify 2 types of lumps:
- physiological structure;
- pathological changes.
Physiological lumps in semen are transparent white clots with a jelly-like structure. Their formation is due to the uneven distribution of peptides. When several peptides are not separated by the semen vesicles, jelly-like clumps form. These clumps look like white, grains of rice.
When sperm comes out with tiny whitish inclusions, this indicates the accumulation of several sperm in a small volume of semen. Such formations are very common in men who have not had sexual intercourse for a long time.
As a result, the secret thickens, the ejaculant volume released becomes less
Pathological sperm in lumps can be of a different nature. Due to various disease-causing processes in the body, inflammation of the gonads occurs. With the inflammatory process, purulent, yellow clots can be noted, which are accompanied by discomfort. When a man ejaculates, there may be acute, painful symptoms. Yellow lumps have an unpleasant odor.
The influence of various factors can provoke vascular rupture. Then plasma seeps into the semen. The serum in the testes at this moment is subject to clotting under the influence of liquid peptides. The lumps in the semen become brownish, reddish in color.
Why do lumps appear in male semen?
Doctors determine several factors that provoke the formation of clots in the semen:
- inflammatory process of the urinary or reproductive system;
- trauma to the genital organs;
- hormonal imbalance;
- prolonged abstinence from sexual activity.
Almost all inflammatory diseases provoke a change in the composition of the semen. With inflammation of the prostate or testicles, sperm is noted in lumps.
The occurrence of bloody, gelatinous eruptions of semen is marked by the presence of prostatitis in the body. With this pathological process, the prostate gland increases, which presses on the adjacent organs. Due to the pressure, the vessels through which the prostate is nourished are ruptured. Plasma accumulates in the male gland, which, together with the prostate juice, penetrates to the testes, which is why ejaculation occurs in lumps of a reddish or brownish color.
Under the influence of inflammation of the urinary system, thickening of the walls of the urethral canal occurs. The process proceeds to the testes, in which a malfunctioning begins to occur. The structure and structure of spermatozoa changes. In the ejaculant, pathogenic, dead, germ cells accumulate. Ejaculation occurs in tiny yellow lumps.
Varicocele, vesiculitis
These pathologies negatively affect the work of the testicle.The production of germ cells occurs in a smaller volume, the plasma accumulated in the scrotum penetrates through the tubules into the secret, which provokes a change in the seminal fluid.
Injuries to the male reproductive system
Injuries lead to rupture of blood vessels with compression of adjacent organs. When injured, plasma accumulates in the scrotum, or an inflammatory process occurs. If two pathologies are noted at once, then a heterogeneous mass of semen is noted.
Hormonal imbalance
Hormonal levels play a major role in spermatogenesis. For the ejaculant to be produced without interruption, a normal testosterone level in the male body is required. This hormone is produced by the prostate gland. With a low level of the hormone in the plasma of a man, the sperm coming out is noted in a more liquid state. Such an ejaculant cannot be retained in the vagina. Too long breaks between intercourse, always accompanied by a thick ejaculant. With the restoration of sexual activity, the composition of the seminal fluid is getting better.
When medical attention is required
When clots appear periodically due to sexual dormancy, there is nothing to worry about. With a constant change in semen, the help of a specialist is required. The sperm composition is influenced by the age of a man. At the age of 23-45, transparent balls are the norm. In old age, transparent lumps need to be examined.
The appearance of clots in the seed may be accompanied by symptoms:
- difficulty urinating;
- painful ejaculations;
- increased body temperature.
The influence of various pathological processes acts by increasing the frequency of emptying of urea. Urine is excreted in a drip or intermittent manner. Patients have frequent toilet visits. Due to the frequent interruption of night sleep, patients become irritable, lethargic, tired.
Due to some forms of clots, painful symptoms are noted in the vas deferens. Pains negatively affect the male body, the patient avoids sexual intercourse, which has a negative effect on the pathology.
Serious pathological processes negatively affect the immune system
The patient feels a deterioration in his general condition, with an increase in body temperature. Sometimes a dyspeptic phenomenon occurs at a temperature, a man suffers from nausea, diarrhea.
In the event of an unpleasant odor or discoloration of the lumps, medical attention is required. Sometimes the cause of the appearance of pathological changes can be purulent infections of the prostate.
Diagnosis of problematic manifestations
To identify the cause of lumps in semen, a man should seek help from a urologist. The doctor will order research.
- Complete blood count.
- Hormonal field studies.
- Study of material on spermogram.
- Hardware examinations.
With the help of a general analysis of plasma, it is possible to identify inflammatory processes in the body. The presence of pathology is marked by an increased level of leukocytes. These cells are required by the body to perform protective functions. When pathogens enter the bloodstream, leukocytes begin to attack them. Pathogenic organisms are enveloped in cells and excreted by the kidneys. When the body is inflammatory, the body produces more white blood cells. According to the analysis, an increased level of leukocytes is noted.
Hormonal disruption is not allowed. When the level of a hormone changes, a malfunction occurs at the hormonal level, this affects the work of the germ cells. The analysis of ejaculate is given on an empty stomach, a week before the delivery of the material, a man must withstand sexual rest for a week.
Taking a spermogram is an important analysis for detecting the causes of the appearance of balls
For research, fresh sperm is submitted, which was collected no later than half an hour before the analysis is considered. A small amount of semen is placed on a glass slide divided into nine squares. The study is carried out using a microscope. The device determines the quantitative factor of sperm motility. The mobile cells are divided into healthy and abnormal seeds. The secret in the seed is dealt with separately. It shows the viscosity with ph.
To pass the analysis for a spermogram, the patient must carefully prepare. For this, intercourse is excluded during the week. Abstinence is necessary to establish the viability of the seed cells. At least 3 days in advance, the premise of any medicinal product is discontinued.
Sometimes medications are canceled by a specialized specialist. Three days before the sperm is donated for analysis, you must not drink alcohol, as alcohol kills sperm.
Hardware examination reveals the organ that is inflamed.
