Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have never used any form of contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, we found out that we have a problem with semen not liquefying. Please advise on the best way to treat this condition.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the coagulation of semen is caused by coagulation proteins produced by the seminal vesicles. On the other hand, liquefaction is the result of a set of proteolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate, known as liquefaction factors. Therefore, if the prostate and seminal vesicles become inflamed again, leading to dysfunction in their secretion, it can either enhance the coagulation factors or increase the liquefaction factors, resulting in semen not liquefying. Identifying the specific cause is crucial for targeted treatment to enable female fertility.The condition of non-liquefying semen can affect normal fertility. When semen fails to liquefy, it becomes difficult for sperm to combine with egg cells. Only normal liquefaction can facilitate conception. We wish you a speedy recovery.
There are many treatment methods for male reproductive disorders, but since symptoms vary among patients, the chosen treatment also differs. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek a prompt diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
