According to ayurveda the body is said to be composed of the 7 dhatus i.e rasa(fliud), rakta(blood), mamsa (muscles), meda(fat), asthi(bones), majja(marrow) and sukra (semen). Comparison are made just to explain theoretically, else they are far different things.

Shukra Dosha in Ayurveda

Shukra dhatu is present in both males and females, hence don't confuse it with sperms or seminal fluid . Sukra dhatu is the last dhatu to be made after all 7 dhatus in body, Hence, we can say sukra dhatu is the essence of all the dhatus, it is well spread all through the body.

Function of Shukra Dhatu

The Shukra dhatu according to modern concepts can be understood as the sexual power, the ejaculation, the erectile strength, the quality of sperms, the semen or we can say overall reproductive strength of the person

A common lifestyle disorder of Shukra dhatu is Shukra Kshaya or loss of Shukra dhatu, this includes common symptoms such as loss of erection, premature ejaculation, weakening of muscles, wrinkling of the skin , whitening of hair, fatigue, loss of concentration power, etc. Proper care of diet and lifestyle is necessary to maintain healthy Shukra dhatu.
