Patient's question:
Married for three years, no children, want to have a baby. Went to the hospital before the New Year for a semen analysis. The liquefaction was relatively slow, taking about nearly an hour to liquefy. The sperm motility and vitality were not a problem, and the density was also fine. So, how can I treat the problem of semen not liquefying?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after normal semen is expelled outside the body, under the action of coagulase secreted by the seminal vesicles, it becomes thick and jelly-like. Between 10 to 20 minutes after ejaculation, it liquefies under the action of fibrinolysin secreted by the prostate, becoming relatively thin. Liquefaction time: less than 30 minutes. Liquefaction abnormality refers to the phenomenon where semen cannot be completely liquefied at least half an hour after ejaculation or does not begin to liquefy until more than an hour has passed. This includes non-liquefaction of semen and delayed liquefaction of semen, which are commonly referred to as non-liquefaction of semen. Wishing you a successful pregnancy.
