Patient's question:
What are the reasons for semen not liquefying? I don't know which condition I belong to now. I used to masturbate too early, so it has caused poor semen quality now. It's like jelly. It looks like the semen is not liquefying. Will this affect future fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The coagulation of semen is caused by coagulation proteins produced by the seminal vesicles. On the other hand, liquefaction is the result of a series of proteolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate, known as liquefaction factors. Therefore, if the prostate and seminal vesicles become inflamed, their secretion function may be disrupted, leading to an increase in coagulation factors or a decrease in liquefaction factors, which can cause semen to fail to liquefy. Treatment must be targeted and tailored to each individual's specific condition and underlying cause to achieve faster results. It is recommended that you visit a reputable and professional "technological" infertility and sterility specialty hospital to undergo a targeted examination based on your personal circumstances. Under the guidance of a doctor, you should receive symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health!
