Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking the hospital, I learned that I have a problem with semen liquefaction. How can this be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many reasons that can cause sperm to remain nonliquefied, and in most cases, it is primarily caused by prostatitis. The prostate secretes an enzyme that promotes the liquefaction of semen. When the prostate becomes congested, it can easily lead to aseptic prostatitis. When inflammation is present in the prostate, this enzyme is lacking, causing the semen to become thick and unable to liquefy. If the semen cannot completely liquefy within half an hour, this is a symptom of chronic prostatitis. In such cases, infertility may occur again. Therefore, for your situation, it is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination. As long as you actively treat the condition and prevent recurrence, the phenomenon of nonliquefying sperm will disappear. In addition to promptly treating urological conditions, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood.
