Patient's question:
Hello: Can prolonged sperm liquefaction be treated? I've been married for a year, but still can't get pregnant. What's going on here? Isn't it said that one can get pregnant within a year of marriage? Out of desperation, I got tested for sperm liquefaction. Can sperm liquefaction be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello:After reading your description, semen liquefaction failure is caused by a lack of or damage to the secretion of proteolytic enzymes, leading to the loss of control of the enzyme system. This results in some patients' semen remaining non-liquefied for a long time after being placed, or liquefying incompletely with excessively high viscosity. Unliquefiable semen often appears as clumps, similar to jelly, and when this occurs, it should be taken seriously.
Generally, this condition does not resolve on its own. Doctors indicate that this is commonly seen in conditions such as prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis.
