Patient's question:
What should I do if the semen does not liquefy? Will it affect a man's fertility? Additionally, I would like to ask what causes semen to not liquefy.Doctor's answer:
Semen liquefaction failure is often caused by cold congelation, heat consumption, phlegm obstruction, or blood stasis. The common etiology and pathogenesis include the following several types:① Insufficient congenital kidney yang, or lack of nourishment in later life, physical weakness after severe illness, or damage to kidney yang, as well as external invasion of cold pathogens that harm kidney yang, can all lead to semen congelation and inability to vaporize.
② Excessive indulgence in alcohol, sex, and sexual exertion, frequent depletion of essence, or excessive mental strain, or the transformation of the five emotions into fire, can all deplete kidney yin. Yin deficiency with excess fire burns body fluids, causing semen to become thick and unliquefiable.
