Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask what causes sperm to fail to liquefy? It has been about 40 minutes since I ejaculated, and it hasn't liquefied yet. If it doesn't liquefy, will it lead to infertility? I'm really worried about this condition now. Which hospital has treatment for this condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The coagulation of semen 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 secretory functions 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 achieve faster results. It is recommended that you visit a formal and professional "technology-based" 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.
