What is the cause of sperm coagulation?

Sperm is very important to men. The activity and quality of sperm are directly related to the ability of men to pass on their genes. Normally, sperm is in the shape of tadpoles. And the activity is very strong. Men can discharge hundreds of millions of sperm cells in each sexual activity. The number is very large. So what is the reason why male sperm appears to be solidified? Let's find out below.

If the semen is coagulated, consider that the semen liquefaction time is abnormal or it may be caused by seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for routine semen examination or semen analysis. Guidance: It is not possible to determine whether the semen is normal simply by naked eye observation. Normal semen just ejaculated is viscous, milky white, and contains grayish white clots. After about 10-20 minutes, the clots will liquefy themselves and become translucent, turbid and thin mucus. The smell of semen is produced by arginine secreted by the prostate in the semen, which is a unique fishy smell. Semen exists in the reproductive tract in a liquid state. When the semen is ejected from the penis, it immediately turns into a jelly or coagulated milky white substance. At this time, the sperm is contained in the semen or attached to the surface and cannot swim freely. After 5-45 minutes, the semen produces an automatic liquefaction process to liquefy the gel and turn it into a thin and flowing liquid. It can better conceive. Your situation may be okay. You can go to the hospital for a routine semen examination, which can also check the activity of enzymes and the number of sperm.

When semen is just ejaculated, it will coagulate due to the action of coagulase in it. To the naked eye, it looks like there are small jelly-like crystals in the semen. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and can play a good protective role for sperm ejaculated outside the body.

These small jelly-like crystals will generally disappear gradually in about 30 minutes. This process is called semen liquefaction, which is the effect of the liquefaction enzyme contained in the semen. If the jelly-like crystals still exist in large quantities after 30 minutes and the semen has not become thinner, it is called semen non-liquefaction or poor liquefaction. In this case, the activity of sperm is greatly affected, resulting in a decrease in the pregnancy rate.
