Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Why is the liquefaction time prolonged?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for nonliquefaction of sperm are as follows:1. Excessive indulgence in alcohol, sex, and overexertion in sexual activity, or excessive mental strain, or the transformation of the five emotions into fire, can all deplete kidney yin. Yin deficiency with excess fire burns the body fluids, which is the reason for nonliquefaction of sperm.
2. Excessive consumption of cold and refrigerated drinks damages spleen yang, or other illnesses may also injure spleen yang. Spleen deficiency may then affect the kidneys; alternatively, kidney yang deficiency may lead to spleen yang deficiency. When both spleen and kidney yang are deficient, water and dampness cannot be transported properly, leading to the formation of phlegm. Phlegm-dampness accumulates in the spermatic passages, impairing the transformation of qi, which is another reason for nonliquefaction of sperm.
