Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask what causes the semen to be thick. The semen appears as a viscous granular substance. 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 are the reasons that can cause the semen to be thick?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is considered to be semen nonliquefaction. The normal state of semen in men is milky white, translucent, and gelatinous after spontaneous liquefaction. If the semen is like jelly, it means it is not liquefying. Nonliquefaction of male semen indicates the presence of inflammation in the reproductive system, primarily caused by prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination to clarify the condition and then receive targeted treatment.
