Patient's question:
Semen not liquefying, is the treatment painful? Why does it cause this? It feels very uncomfortable in the private area, that feeling can't be described, it affects work and life very much, it's very annoyingDoctor's answer:
After normal semen is expelled outside the body, under the action of coagulating enzymes secreted by the seminal vesicles, it becomes thick and gelatinous. Between 10 to 20 minutes after ejaculation, it is liquefied by fibrinolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate, becoming less viscous.Liquefaction time: less than 30 minutes.
Abnormal liquefaction refers to the condition where semen cannot be completely liquefied at least 30 minutes after ejaculation or begins to liquefy within an hour. This includes incomplete liquefaction of semen and delayed liquefaction, which are collectively referred to as abnormal liquefaction of semen.
Abnormal liquefaction restricts sperm motility, slows it down, or inhibits sperm from entering the uterine cavity to fertilize the egg, leading to infertility. Increased semen viscosity.
