Patient's question:
Got semen that doesn't liquefy, causing my wife to still be unable to conceive. What could be the reason for this? What are the symptoms of non-liquefying semen?Doctor's answer:
Semen may become viscous or appear in a gel-like state, and it may again take on a flaky, chunky, or clumped form. It does not evaporate outside the body for more than an hour.The reasons for non-evaporation are as follows: The coagulation of semen is caused by coagulation proteins produced by the seminal vesicles. On the other hand, evaporation is the result of a series of proteolytic enzymes excreted by the prostate, known as evaporation factors. Therefore, if the prostate and seminal vesicles become inflamed, their excretory functions may become disrupted, leading to an increase in coagulation factors or an increase in evaporation factors, which can result in nonliquefaction of semen.
What are the symptoms of nonliquefaction of semen? Treatment must be targeted and tailored to each individual's specific condition and cause in order to achieve faster results.
