Patient's question:
I got married when I was 26 years old, and at that time, I wanted to have a child with my wife. However, after two years, I still couldn't get pregnant. A thorough check-up at the hospital revealed that the issue was with me—my semen did not liquefy. The doctor also prescribed medication for me to take care of my health. But even after two years of treatment, there was still no improvement.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Semen remains in a liquid state within the reproductive tract. When semen is expelled from the urethral orifice, it immediately transforms into a jelly-like or coagulated, milky-white substance. At this stage, sperm are embedded within the semen or attached to its surface, unable to move freely. After 5–45 minutes, semen undergoes a self-evaporation process, causing the gel to vaporize and convert into a thin, floating liquid. The initial liquid state of semen facilitates its expulsion. Subsequently, the formation of clots helps semen remain in the vagina for a longer duration, allowing sperm to rest and acquire motility.
