Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have never used any form of contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, I learned that the semen does not liquefy. I would like to ask, what are the effective treatments for this condition?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculate failure to liquefy restricts sperm motility, slowing or inhibiting sperm from entering the uterine cavity to fertilize the egg, leading to infertility. Elevated seminal viscosity will affect sperm vitality and survival rates. Common causes of liquefaction failure include seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis, which result in insufficient secretion of fibrinolysin by the prostate, deficiencies in trace elements (such as magnesium and zinc), congenital absence of the prostate, and other factors. Treatment methods vary depending on the underlying cause. It is recommended to seek professional medical advice at a reputable hospital, undergo targeted and thorough examinations to confirm the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment accordingly.
