Semen that tastes like paste is still considered normal and may also be associated with conditions such as prostatitis and seminal vesicle adenitis.
1. Normal situation: semen is mainly composed of prostate fluid and spermatozoa, slightly fishy odor, may also be manifested as a paste flavor. In general, the frequency of ejaculation is high, the semen is relatively thin, the smell is also light, if the frequency of ejaculation is low, the semen is relatively thick, the smell is also heavy.
2. Prostatitis: When inflammation occurs in the prostate tissue, it can lead to abnormal production of prostate fluid and an abnormal odor. Prostate fluid is a major component of semen, which can lead to an abnormal odor. The prostate fluid can be analyzed through bacterial culture and other tests to confirm the diagnosis of the lesion.
3. Seminal vesicle adenitis: Since sperms are stored in the seminal vesicle glands after they are produced by the testicles, if the patient develops seminal vesicle adenitis, it may lead to abnormal quality of the sperms, which may result in the semen having a peculiar odor. It is possible to confirm the diagnosis of the lesion through testing programs such as routine semen and ultrasound.
There may be other reasons why the semen may taste like paste, and the patient needs to be seen promptly for examination and early treatment.
