Why does semen form lumps?

When there is something abnormal in male semen, he should be checked immediately, otherwise it will have a great impact on fertility. Many men do not care much about this. In the long run, it will cause various diseases, which will cause more damage to the body. So why does semen form lumps? This is also something that many men do not know. There are many reasons for this situation. The following is a detailed introduction so that men can have some understanding.

What causes semen to form lumps?

When semen is discharged and contacts the air, it becomes gel-like and liquefies after 20 to 30 minutes. This process of transformation from liquid to gel and then to liquefaction is related to the unique enzyme system in semen. If this enzyme system is abnormal, pathological phenomena such as semen not coagulating or liquefying will occur.

Seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis may lead to semen not liquefying, insufficient prostate secretion of fibroprotein lysing enzymes, trace element deficiency, congenital prostate agenesis, etc. In general, the secretions of the prostate and seminal vesicles participate in the coagulation and liquefaction of semen. The coagulation factors produced by the seminal vesicles cause semen coagulation, while the proteolytic enzymes, fibrolytic proteases and other semen liquefaction factors produced by the prostate make semen liquefy. If it is caused by inflammation of the seminal vesicles and prostate, it may cause a series of complications. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations to determine the cause and then treat the symptoms.

Male sperm is the most important reproductive cell, but it also relies on the energy provided by the seminal plasma to survive. If the seminal plasma cannot provide or provides insufficient energy, the sperm cannot ascend to the female cervix, resulting in infertility. Lumps in semen are early manifestations of male infertility, orchitis and prostatitis.

Because the liquid is very thick and will not be diluted, the sperm in the liquid will not be able to swim normally. After the man ejaculates inside the woman's body, the ejaculated material will first enter the woman's reproductive tract. The environment of the female reproductive tract is extremely acidic. The semen that cannot neutralize the acid cannot ascend to the woman's cervix, leading to infertility.

After understanding what causes semen clumping, men who experience this condition should seek treatment according to the doctor's advice. This will be very helpful in alleviating the clumping of their own semen. If the semen clumping is more serious, the treatment will take some time, so men also need to be patient in receiving treatment.
