Patient's question:
I have been experiencing this for a while now. Every time after having sex, I find that the sperm I ejaculate are in the form of small, string-like pieces. I'm a bit worried that my sperm might be dead sperm. Is it true that string-like sperm indicates dead sperm?Doctor's answer:
Semen contains fan-shaped structures, which do not necessarily mean all the sperm are dead. Therefore, pay attention to hygiene, temporarily stop sexual intercourse and masturbation, and seek medical attention as soon as possible for semen analysis, EPS, sexual function, and other related physical examinations. Semen may become viscous after a long period without ejaculation, but in most cases, it liquefies within 30 minutes, which is a normal phenomenon. If blood components are suddenly found in the semen, it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of seminal vesiculitis.
