Patient's question:
I used to have long-term masturbation, but I have now quit. However, I experience early ejaculation, a small amount of semen that is like jelly, and my stools are not well-formed, but they are not as liquidy as diarrhea. What illness do I have, and how can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The semen solidifies into a gel-like state due to the coagulating protein secreted by the seminal vesicles. The proteolytic enzymes and fibrinolysin secreted by the prostate in the semen can break down this coagulating protein, promoting liquefaction of the semen. Therefore, the liquefaction of semen is caused by an increase in coagulating protein or a decrease in proteolytic enzymes and fibrinolysin. During semen analysis, if the semen appears non-coagulable, it may be due to defects in the ejaculatory ducts or congenital absence of the seminal vesicles. The main cause of non-liquefaction of semen is inflammation of the prostate or seminal vesicles.
