What happens if there are solid lumps in semen?

Some people are still ashamed to talk about some private issues of men, but it doesn’t matter. Today, I am here to show you why there are solid lumps in semen?

Why are there solid lumps in semen?

Normal semen becomes thick and jelly-like after being ejaculated, under the action of coagulase secreted by the seminal vesicles. It liquefies and becomes thinner 10 to 20 minutes after being ejaculated under the action of fibrolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate. The liquefaction time of semen is generally less than 30 minutes; while abnormal semen liquefaction refers to the phenomenon that semen cannot be completely liquefied at least half an hour after ejaculation or begins to liquefy more than an hour after ejaculation. It includes semen that does not liquefy and semen that liquefies slowly, which are usually referred to as semen that does not liquefy.

The common reasons for semen not liquefying and semen agglomeration are as follows:

1. Other reasons for semen agglomeration include excessive consumption of cold food and drinks, which damages the spleen yang, or other diseases that injure the spleen yang, resulting in spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency; or kidney yang deficiency leading to spleen yang deficiency, or spleen and kidney yang deficiency, in which water and moisture cannot be transported and transformed, and are blocked to form phlegm. Phlegm and moisture accumulate in the semen, and qi transformation is unfavorable, then semen cannot liquefy.

2. Qi deficiency and blood stasis or blood stasis constitution, which causes blockage of semen and leads to failure of semen liquefaction.

3. Usually, people who like to eat spicy, sweet and greasy food have internal dampness and heat, or external dampness and poison, which can all burn body fluids, make semen turbid and unable to liquefy.

4. Excessive drinking, sex, and sexual activity, frequent ejaculation, or excessive mental exertion, or the five emotions turning into fire, can all damage the kidney yin, causing yin deficiency and excessive fire, which will burn body fluids and prevent semen from liquefying.

5. Congenital deficiency of kidney yang, or acquired malnutrition, serious illness or long-term illness that damages kidney yang, or external invasion of cold evil that damages kidney yang can all cause semen to become cold and coagulate, leading to semen agglomeration.

What to do if sperm does not liquefy?

You can participate in more physical exercise, eat more green fruits and vegetables, relax your mind, reduce stress, quit smoking and drinking, go to the sauna less often, and have regular physical examinations to prevent male diseases.

The male diseases mentioned above are prostate diseases. To treat the problem of sperm liquefaction, the prostate problem must be solved first. Medically, zinc supplementation is usually used for treatment. Generally, the patient directly takes Yuzhiyuan tablets to supplement protein zinc, selenium and protein. Zinc is distributed in every tissue and organ in the human body, and its content in the prostate is particularly high. There is more zinc distributed in the prostate than in any other organ because the bactericidal function of the prostate depends on the participation of zinc. If the human body is deficient in zinc, the bactericidal ability of the prostate will decrease, increasing the risk of prostatitis. It can be seen that zinc supplementation plays a very important role in the prevention and treatment of prostatitis, and also indirectly solves the symptoms of sperm liquefaction.

Zinc is an inherent component and functional unit of adrenal cortical hormones. At the same time, the endocrine activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary gland is also closely related to zinc. Zinc supplementation can improve kidney function. Selenium can counteract certain metabolic elements that have toxic effects on sperm, prevent harmful substances from harming the reproductive system, and maintain the normal morphology of sperm cells.
