Whether these interventions increase the chances of pregnancy remains unclear. Semen is made up of sperm from the testicles, seminal fluid from the seminal vesicles, and a small amount of fluid from the prostate. The semen then travels through the ejaculatory ducts and into the urethra, where it is ejaculated. Problems with the functioning of either the prostate or seminal vesicles may make the semen unusually thick.
Specifically, the thickness may indicate that an issue in the seminal vesicles is causing the prostate to secrete more fluid or that there has been a change in the proteins that the prostate and seminal vesicles add to semen. Some people may experience other symptoms of prostate problems, such as painful ejaculation, pain when urinating, or frequent urination.
Very thick semen may reduce sperm movement or count, but many people with low sperm counts have semen that seems normal. The only way to reliably assess semen is with a professional analysis. After a person gives a semen sample, their doctor sends it to a laboratory.
The results show several measures of semen health, including:. Even healthy people can have problems with their sperm or semen, and a person can take steps to improve their semen quality.
For example, a person can try taking antioxidants. Oxidative damage may contribute to thick sperm or infections, and a handful of small studies have found that taking over-the-counter supplements of antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or coenzyme Q, led to improvements in sperm count or semen quality.
It is also a good idea to avoid very high temperatures, which may damage sperm, by staying away from saunas and Jacuzzis.
Semen consistency, volume, quality, and even color can change from day to day, and they vary naturally from person to person. However, if you experience other symptoms it may be worth talking with your health care provider to rule out any health concerns. Otherwise, continue having a happy, healthy sex life!

If you masturbate several times a day, the quality of semen after the first ejaculation is likely to become thin and watery. Your body may require at least a few hours to produce a normal, healthy amount of semen.
Another possible cause of watery semen is a zinc deficiency. Research has shown that men who have adequate levels of zinc or men who are deficient in zinc and take zinc sulfate supplements can better fight off the effects of anti-sperm antibodies. These antibodies are produced by the immune system, which mistakenly responds to sperm as a foreign body. It typically contains few sperm. Pink or reddish brown could mean your prostate is inflamed or bleeding, or there could be bleeding or inflammation in the seminal vesicle s.
The seminal vesicles are a pair of glands that help produce a significant liquid part of semen. These are usually treatable conditions.

If you and your partner have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive, consult a fertility specialist.
One of the first tests that will be done is a semen analysis.
