Patient's question:
How to treat semen liquefaction disorder? I've been married for two years, but I still haven't had children. The elders in my family are very anxious. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have semen liquefaction disorder? What's going on? How can I treat it?Doctor's answer:
If there are problems with the prostate or seminal vesicles, it will disrupt the original balance, leading to abnormal liquefaction of semen. 90% of patients with non-liquefiable semen have prostate dysfunction, with the most common cause being prostatitis, which triggers increased excretion of enzymes, resulting in non-liquefaction again. Additionally, conditions such as varicocele can lead to endocrine dysfunction in the testes, causing increased testosterone excretion, which in turn reduces the excretory function of accessory glands (including the prostate and seminal vesicles), contributing to non-liquefiable semen and thereby affecting sperm vitality.
