Patient's question:
Hello: Can sperm liquefaction heal on its own? I've been married for 2 years, but I haven't been able to get pregnant yet. What could be the reason? After getting married, I've been trying to conceive, but I've never used contraception. I didn't know what the problem was before and couldn't fulfill my dream of being a father. After the examination, it was found that the sperm doesn't liquefy. Can sperm liquefaction heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your situation, long-term and frequent masturbation can affect normal semen quality and may also impact future sexual life. The lack of secretion or damage of proteolytic enzymes leads to an imbalance in the enzyme system, causing some patients' semen to remain unliquefied after 1 hour of placement, or to liquefy incompletely with excessively high viscosity. In this case, sperm cannot migrate, naturally resulting in infertility. This condition is related to infections in accessory glands that impair the secretion of proteolytic enzymes, fibrinolytic enzymes, and semen liquefaction factors, preventing semen from liquefying. Treatment requires a scientific and clear identification of the cause, followed by targeted and effective regulation and treatment. Wishing you good health!
