Patient's question:
Hello, I've been married for several years and haven't been able to get pregnant. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with sperm not liquefying. What are the causes of this condition?Doctor's answer:
Reason 1: Long-term alcohol consumption and spicy food intake can lead to damp-heat accumulation, which, when stored in the bladder, prostate, seminal vesicles, or seminal colliculus for a prolonged period, can easily cause semen to fail to liquefy.Reason 2: A lack of trace elements, insufficient fibrinolytic enzyme activity, or congenital absence of the prostate can trigger abnormal semen liquefaction. Additionally, many inflammatory or infectious diseases can lead to enzyme deficiency, such as seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis. Once seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis occurs, it may cause an increase in coagulation factors or a rise in vaporization factors, resulting in abnormal semen liquefaction.
