Why doesn\’t semen liquefy? Can it cause infertility?

Sperm has poor mobility in thick and non-liquefied semen, which is not conducive to sperm activity. High viscosity or lack of liquefaction of semen hinders the movement of sperm and can also affect fertility. Human seminal vesicles produce a substance called \”coagulation factor\” that can coagulate semen. Originally, semen is discharged in a liquid state. Due to the effect of \”coagulation factor\”, the semen immediately solidifies into a jelly state. After 10 to 20 minutes, the semen gradually liquefies. The liquefaction of semen is due to the action of various enzymes secreted by the prostate. If these enzymes are deficient, the liquefaction process is affected.

Prostatitis and other diseases are the main reasons for high viscosity or non-liquefaction of semen. If it is confirmed that prostatitis is present, antibiotics can be used for treatment, such as compound sulfamethoxazole, etc. Drugs such as phlegm Yijing and cyanase can also be used. For non-liquefied semen not caused by infection, enzyme drugs, such as α-amylase, chymotrypsin, etc., can be placed in the vagina before and after sexual intercourse to dissolve the coagulated semen so that the sperm can move freely and swim through the uterus. It combines with the egg in the fallopian tube and fertilizes it.
