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 at the hospital, we found out that the problem is due to semen not liquefying. Please advise on the best treatment for this condition.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 set of proteolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate, known as liquefaction factors. Therefore, if the prostate and seminal vesicles become inflamed again, leading to dysfunction in their secretion, it can enhance the coagulation factors or increase the liquefaction factors in semen, causing liquefaction failure. Identifying the specific cause is crucial for targeted treatment to enable female fertility.The condition of semen not liquefying can impair normal fertility. When semen fails to liquefy, it becomes difficult for sperm to combine with egg cells. Only normal liquefaction can facilitate conception. We wish you a speedy recovery.
There are many treatment methods for male reproductive diseases, but since symptoms vary among patients, the chosen treatment methods differ accordingly. Therefore, patients need to be diagnosed as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
