Patient's question:
Got semen that doesn't liquefy, which has prevented my wife from getting pregnant so far. What could be the reason for this? What are the symptoms of non-liquefying semen?Doctor's answer:
Semen may be relatively viscous or appear in a gel-like state, and it may again take on a flaky, chunky, or clumped form. It does not evaporate outside the body for more than an hour. The reasons for non-evaporation: The coagulation of semen is caused by coagulation proteins produced by the seminal vesicles. On the other hand, evaporation is the result of a series of proteolytic enzymes excreted by the prostate, known as evaporation factors. Therefore, if the prostate and seminal vesicles become inflamed, their excretory functions may become disrupted, leading to an increase in coagulation factors or an increase in evaporation factors, which can cause semen to fail to liquefy.What are the symptoms of non-liquefying semen? Treatment must be targeted and tailored to each individual's specific condition and cause to achieve faster results.
