What causes sperm to be very sticky?

Sometimes, when we men ejaculate, we find that our sperm is very sticky, and we worry whether there is something wrong with our body or whether we have a serious illness. So what is going on?

Storing semen for too long will cause the semen to become thicker.

If some men do not have sex with their wives for a long time, their semen will become thicker, so they will start to worry whether there is a problem with their semen and whether it will lead to infertility. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. When semen is stored for a long time, or the enzymes secreted by the seminal vesicles and prostate glands are unbalanced, resulting in incomplete liquefaction, the semen will become thicker, causing the first ejaculated semen to be light yellow and thicker. Sometimes, these "jelly" will even get stuck in the opening of the sperm port, causing the amount of ejaculation to suddenly decrease, and usually disappear during the next ejaculation.

Prostate inflammation can also cause excessive viscosity.

When semen is first discharged, it is jelly-like, and can be liquefied by the liquefaction enzyme in the prostate secretion within 20 minutes. When the prostate is inflamed, this enzyme may decrease or even cause it to not liquefy. At this time, there will be jelly-like clots in the semen, which are similar to the semen with high viscosity, but the texture is different.
