Patient's question:
I was masturbating the other night and noticed that the semen I ejaculated was jelly-like. My classmates said that a jelly-like semen is abnormal, and I'm particularly worried and anxious. I would like to ask if there is any problem with nocturnal emission being jelly-like?Doctor's answer:
Masturbation too frequently can lead to bacteria entering the urethra, causing upward infection. Semen appears jelly-like, generally suggesting the possibility of diseases such as testicular issues, seminal vesicle problems, or prostatitis. Normal semen is grayish or milky white with a certain viscosity. Your condition warrants attention and should be checked by a doctor as soon as possible to avoid affecting future fertility issues. This is not normal, and it is important to be aware of potential conditions such as prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis. You can visit the urology department for tests like a routine semen analysis and prostatic fluid examination to check for abnormalities.
