When sperm comes out and is healthy the sperm should look whitish-gray or slightly yellowish and have a jelly like consistency to it.
Healthy sperm and semen should be either whitish-gray or opalescent and have a thick jelly like consistency which is similar to that of raw eggs and sperm cells themselves are also microscopic and tadpole shaped and have a head, midpiece and tail.
The amount of sperm that a man produces in a day is estimated to be between 200 million to 300 million sperm cells a day or around 1,500 sperm cells every second.
The amount of sperm that the average male makes in one second is as much as 1,500 sperm cells.
The process of producing sperm is called spermatogenesis and is a continuous process that occurs in a males testicles and the testes produce a substantial number of sperm, with an estimated 1,500 sperm cells being generated by the male in each and every second.
As a result a male makes millions of sperm cells in one day and a healthy male can also release as many as 80 to 300 million sperm per each ejaculation and sperm are also short lived and they also must constantly be replenished which is why they have a high production rate.
Both your testicles hold sperm and produce sperm and they often produce and hold the same amount of sperm although the left testicle may produce more sperm.
However in most cases, both your testicles often produce an equal amount of sperm although there can be some slight variations in the production of sperm due to factors like testicular size, left and right asymmetry and temperature.
Your testicles need to be cooler than the rest of the body to produce sperm and if one of your testicles is warmer than the other it may produce less sperm.
And the larger testicle may produce more sperm than the smaller testicle.
Sperm comes from both your left and right testicles.
Both of your left and right testicles or testes are responsible for producing sperm and also the male sex hormone.
Your testicles are the primary organs of your male reproductive system that is responsible for producing sperm and they also produce and release testosterone which is a key hormone in male sexual function and development.
For optimal sperm production and over all male reproductive health, both testicles are required for producing sperm.
The sperm is also produced in your seminiferous tubules that are within your testicles and then move to your epididymis, where they mature and are stored.
And during sexual arousal, sperm are then released from your epididymis and travels through your vas deferens to be ejaculated.
And while the prostate does not produce sperm, the prostate does contribute to the production of semen which is the fluid which carries the sperm during ejaculation.
One part of your semen is produced in your prostate and together with your sperm cells from your testicles, the fluid from your seminal vesicle and the secretions are released by another pea sized gland below your prostate which is called the bulbourethral gland and the prostate fluid makes up your semen.
The prostate does many things which includes the production of seminal fluid.
The prostate is a gland which is located in a males reproductive system.
Your prostate produces a fluid which mixes with your sperm from your testicles to form semen.
This fluid also helps to nourish and protect your sperm and makes it easier for the sperm to travel and to fertilize an egg.
A males prostate also regulates ejaculation and contains muscles which contract during ejaculation which force your seminal fluid and sperm out of your urethra.
Your prostate also produces PSA also known as Prostate Specific Antigen which is a protein that plays a role in maintaining the health of your prostate gland.
And having elevated levels of PSA or prostate specific antigens can indicate prostate cancer or other potential prostate problems.
The prostate also supports male fertility by providing a suitable environment for sperm and facilitating the sperms movement.
However the prostate is not essential for life and you can live a long and productive life without a prostate but you won't be fertile and won't be able to get a woman pregnant without a prostate.
The muscles of the prostate also ensure that your semen is pressed into the urethra forcefully and then expelled outwards during ejaculation.
