Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about what causes semen to be thick. The semen appears thick and granular. My daughter is two years old, and my partner and I have not taken any contraceptive measures, but my partner has not become pregnant. Our sexual function is normal, and our general health is also normal. I suspect that I can't have a second child because of this. What causes semen to be thick?Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal semen that has just been released is viscous, milky white, and contains grayish-white clumps. It usually liquefies within about 20 minutes, after which it becomes thin and transparent. If the liquefaction time is abnormal, it cannot be ruled out that the semen liquefaction may be abnormal. It is best to abstain from sex for 3-5 days and then go to the hospital for semen analysis and other related tests to confirm the diagnosis before considering treatment. Wishing you good health!
