Patient's question:
Ejaculate does not liquefy, when is it better to check carefully? When is it better to check carefully if the semen does not liquefy, what are the reasons causing it? When is it better to check carefully if the semen does not liquefy?Doctor's answer:
The semen of males is initially in a liquid state when it is expelled outside the body. Within a very short period of time, it solidifies into a gel-like or clotted state. After approximately 10 to 30 minutes, the semen liquefies into a watery liquid. This process is known as semen liquefaction, and this phenomenon is a normal physiological occurrence. If the semen remains in a gel-like state after being expelled outside the body for less than 30 minutes, it may indicate a pathological condition, known as semen non-liquefaction.For a thorough examination of semen non-liquefaction, it is best to determine the appropriate time based on individual circumstances and the specific causes. It is essential to consult a doctor and undergo targeted treatment under their guidance.
