Patient's question:
The prostate fluid test I took showed nothing, and it's been done twice. I don't know if it means the sample wasn't prostate fluid or something else? What should I do if the semen doesn't liquefy?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculate does not liquefy due to a lack or destruction of proteolytic enzymes, which leads to endocrine disorders in the enzyme system. This results in some patients' semen remaining unliquefied even after being placed for 1 hour, or liquefying incompletely with excessively high viscosity. In such cases, sperm cannot move, naturally leading to infertility. This condition is often related to infections in accessory glands that disrupt the secretion of proteolytic enzymes, fibrinolytic enzymes, and semen liquefying factors, preventing the liquefaction of semen. It is recommended to visit a specialized hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, for men suffering from urological conditions, diet and care during treatment are also crucial. Patients should focus on digesting vitamins, preventing diarrhea, and maintaining a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
