Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask what are the reasons that can cause semen to be viscous? The semen appears viscous 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 condition is normal. I suspect that I can't have a second child because of this. What are the reasons that can cause semen to be viscous?Doctor's answer:
Causes of oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia:1. Abnormal spermatogenesis in the testes: The seminiferous tubules in the testes may be immature or damaged and thinned, leading to poor sperm quality and weak motility.
2. Variations in seminal plasma: When the seminal vesicles, epididymis, or prostate gland are inflamed, factors such as pH, nutrition, oxygen supply, and metabolism become unfavorable for sperm activity and survival.
3. Immune abnormalities: Endocrine disorders and the presence of antisperm antibodies can cause sperm agglutination, resulting in loss of motility.
4. Chromosomal abnormalities: Particularly, sex chromosome aberrations can severely affect sperm density and motility.
5. Other factors: Medications, pesticides, radiation, heavy metals, smoking, and alcohol intoxication can all inhibit sperm production.
It is recommended that you undergo comprehensive examinations to identify the specific cause. Scientific, targeted regulation and treatment can yield excellent results.
