Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask what causes semen to be thick? The semen appears thick 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 health is also normal. I suspect that I am unable to have a second child because of this. What causes the thick semen?Doctor's answer:
Hello, semen viscosity is initially considered a manifestation of sperm nonliquefaction, primarily due to endocrine disorders and nutritional deficiencies leading to a lack of zinc, selenium, and protein in the body, which affects sperm liquefaction time. Sperm viscosity can severely impact male fertility and requires attention and timely treatment.Suggestions: It is recommended that you choose a regular, professional, and high-technology "technological" infertility and infertility specialty hospital for further examination to identify the cause and targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary restrictions, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, drink more water, and avoid the above triggers. Exercise regularly, and so on. Wishing you good health!
