Patient's question:
What should I do if semen does not liquefy? Will it affect a man's fertility? Additionally, I would like to ask how to treat semen liquefaction effectively.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 series of proteolytic enzymes excreted by the prostate, known as liquefaction factors. Therefore, if the prostate and seminal vesicles become inflamed again, leading to dysfunction in their excretory functions, it can enhance the coagulation factors or increase the liquefaction factors, resulting in semen not liquefying.When semen does not liquefy, sperm become trapped in a mucous network, hindering their mobility in the female reproductive tract, which can lead to male infertility. It is recommended that you visit the infertility department for a follow-up examination to identify the specific cause and then receive targeted treatment. There is still hope for self-recovery.
