In a double-blind randomized trial that enrolled 76 women older than 50 years (mean age 69 years) with LUTS but not overactive bladder (OAB), patients treated with the extract for 12 weeks had significant improvement in daytime urination frequency and nocturia compared with patients who received a placebo, Shizuo Yamada, MD, of Kageyama Urology Clinic in Shizuoka, Japan, and colleagues reported in Nutrients. The investigators evaluated symptoms by core lower urinary tract symptom score (CLSS) and OAB symptom score (OABSS) questionnaires. For both evaluations, higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. The mean difference from baseline to week 12 for CLSS question 1 (“How many times do you typically urinate from waking in the morning until sleeping at night” [daytime frequency]?) was significantly greater in the SPE than placebo group (-0.8 vs -0.4). Among patients with a score of 1 or higher for CLSS question 2 (“How many times to you typically urinate from sleeping at night until waking in the morning” [nocturia]?), the mean difference from baseline was significantly greater in the SPE arm (-0.7 vs -0.3). The mean difference from baseline in OABSS for daytime frequency was significantly greater for the SPE than placebo group (-0.4 vs -0.1). “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that SPE attenuated urinary symptoms in adult women,” the authors wrote. The easing of urinary frequency by SPE may be partly attributed to the relaxation of bladder smooth muscle due to its antagonistic effect on muscarinic receptors in the bladder, according to the investigators.

Difference between White and Clear Semen Semen is the fluid emitted during ejaculation. Its constituents are sperms and seminal plasma. The fluid part originates from the seminal vesicles, prostate, and organs in the proximity. It contains fructose, amino acids, nutrients, and hormones to nourish sperms for successful fertilization. Sperms make up about 2%-5% of the total fluid volume. They are produced in the testicles, mature in the epididymis, and pass through the vas deferens before ejaculation.

Clear semen typically refers to the pre-ejaculated fluid and white semen is part of the ejaculation. Clear semen may result in case of frequent ejaculation and may indicate low sperm count. White semen indicates less frequent ejaculations and is a thick and cloudy fluid. The viscosity and sperm count of white semen are also significantly higher. Semen Quality and Male Infertility The sperm count in white and cloudy semen is better than watery and clear semen. Watery semen may sometimes be considered as an indicator of fertility issues in males. In most cases, clear semen is indicative of a transient problem that may resolve spontaneously. Clear semen may also be common in males who ejaculate often, generally several times a day. Call us now to get your semen test or sperm DFI test done! Make an Appointment
