Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I want to know how prolonged sperm liquefaction is caused. In the past, I was just busy with work and had no plans to have children with my wife, but as I've gotten older, my family has started urging me to ask when we'll have children. Now, I can't have children, and the checkup says the sperm doesn't liquefy. What causes sperm not to liquefy?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Through reading your description, semen coagulation is caused by coagulation protein 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, based on each individual's specific condition and cause, to provide symptomatic treatment and achieve faster results.
