The main function of the testicles is the production of sperm, in addition to the production of testosterone, which is responsible for the changes that occur during puberty, and during this period the testicles produce millions of sperm daily, so how long is the testicles full? Continue reading the following article to find out.

How is sperm formed in the testicles?

Before knowing how long the testicles are filled with sperm, you must know how the sperm is formed?

The testicles produce sperm at puberty, and each is about 0.002 inch (0.05 mm) long. The sperm production process includes:

• The seminiferous tubules (tiny tubes in the testicles) contain the sex cells that are produced by the hormone testosterone; to turn into sperm.
• The sex cells divide and change until they resemble tadpoles with a short head and tail (the characteristic shape of a sperm), then the sperm tails propel them into a tube behind the testicles called the epididymis.
• For about five weeks, the sperm travel through the epididymis, complete their development, and once out of the epididymis, the sperm travel to the vas deferens.
• When a man stimulates sexual activity, the sperm is mixed with seminal fluid, which is a white liquid produced by the seminal vesicles and prostate gland; to form semen.
• As a result of the stimulation, semen, which contains up to 500 million sperm, is pushed (ejaculate) from the penis through the urethra.

How much does a testicle produce per day?

To know how long the testicles are full, you must know how much the testicle produces per day first, as the testicles constantly produce new sperm in the spermatogenesis process, and this process takes about 64 days.

During spermatogenesis, the testicles secrete several million sperms per day, which can amount to about 1,500 sperms per second.

At the end of a complete sperm production cycle, up to 8 billion sperm can be regenerated, then around 20 to 300 million sperm cells are released in one milliliter of semen.

How long is the testicles full?

The testicles produce sperm periodically. After ejaculation, the sperm production process begins again. Then, after the formation is complete, the sperm heads to the epididymis, waiting for ejaculation.

So the testicles are not considered empty sacs waiting to be filled, they produce sperm all the time, and it may take 24 to 36 hours; To restore fullness after ejaculation, and some may call this period the period of fullness of the testicles.

How to activate the work of the testicles

The healthier your sperm, the greater the likelihood of fertility and conception, so you can follow the following tips to ensure that the sperm is produced in large enough quantities, in addition to its quality:

1. Exercising regularly. Some studies have indicated that men who engage in outdoor sports activities or lift weights for about 3 hours a week have sperm up to 42% higher than men who do not exercise at all.
2. Get enough vitamin C and vitamin D in the diet. A study found that men who lost weight and took 1,000 mg of vitamin C supplements each day experienced an increase in sperm count and motility.
3. Reducing smoking and drinking alcohol. Some studies have found that smoking had a significant effect on semen quality and sperm function.
4. wearing loose underwear; This is to help the testicles hang away from the body so that their temperature remains from 35 to 37 degrees Celsius, which is cooler than body temperature, and an optimal environment for sperm production.
