Patient's question:
I carefully discovered the condition of nonliquefied semen at the end of last year. What is this condition? How can this condition be caused? I don't want to go to the hospital for treatment now. They say harsh things, as if they want to immediately push you onto the operating table. They make a small condition seem like a big deal. Can I treat it with dietary therapy at home?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculate liquefaction is commonly caused by conditions such as seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis, which lead to insufficient secretion of fibrinolytic enzymes by the prostate; deficiencies in trace elements (such as magnesium, zinc, etc.); or congenital absence of the prostate. It is generally believed that the secretions of the prostate and seminal vesicles contribute to the coagulation and liquefaction processes of semen. The coagulation factor produced by the seminal vesicles causes semen to coagulate, while the liquefaction factors produced by the prostate, such as protease and fibrinolytic enzymes, cause semen to liquefy. If inflammation occurs in the seminal vesicles or prostate again, it can disrupt the secretion of these factors, leading to an accumulation of coagulation factors or an increase in liquefaction factors, resulting in semen liquefaction disorder. Another cause is consuming supplements containing yeast zinc, which can easily lead to zinc deficiency in the body.
