Patient's question:
What causes semen to fail to liquefy? What causes semen to fail to liquefy, and what are the reasons behind it? It feels very uncomfortable in the private area, a feeling that cannot be described, and it greatly affects work and life, which is very troublesome.Doctor's answer:
Causes of non-liquefaction: The coagulation of semen is caused by coagulation proteins produced by the seminal vesicles. Liquefaction, on the other hand, 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, non-liquefaction of semen occurs, causing sperm to be trapped in a mucus network and hindering their mobility in the female reproductive tract, which can lead to male infertility.How is non-liquefaction of semen caused? Due to individual differences, the causes vary. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a designated hospital for fast conception (Kuaiun Zhichu Tongche) for symptomatic treatment. The primary approach should involve a targeted and thorough examination based on your specific condition, followed by treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
