Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling cannot be described. It affects my work and life very much, and it's very annoying. Could you please tell me what the main symptoms of nonliquefying semen are? Can nonliquefying semen be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculate non-liquefaction in clinical diagnosis often refers to the process where semen transitions from a liquid state to a gel-like state and then vaporizes back into a liquid state, with the entire process taking approximately 15-20 minutes. This process is known as semen liquefaction and is a normal physiological phenomenon. If semen is expelled outside the body and remains gel-like for less than 30 minutes, it indicates a pathological condition known as non-liquefaction of semen. In such cases, it is most commonly caused by chronic prostatitis, which leads to an increase in the excretion of enzymes that promote semen liquefaction, preventing the semen from liquefying normally. Can non-liquefaction of semen be resolved?
