What is the cause of jelly-like semen?

Some friends may find that their sperm does not liquefy and is in a jelly state. They don't know what's going on. In fact, this is a bad phenomenon, indicating that there is a problem with the sperm quality. Therefore, it is very important for friends who encounter these problems to understand what sperm does not liquefy and why sperm does not liquefy. So what is the reason for semen to be in a jelly state? Please read the detailed introduction below.

Jelly-like semen is actually a symptom of sperm failure to liquefy. The sperm ejaculated by the patient is usually thicker or jelly-like, and may appear in flakes, lumps, and clumps. It will not liquefy for more than an hour outside the body.

Sperm liquefaction definition:

After normal sperm is ejaculated, it becomes thick and jelly-like under the action of coagulase secreted by the seminal vesicles. 10-20 minutes after ejaculation, it liquefies under the action of fibrolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate gland and becomes thinner. Abnormal liquefaction refers to the phenomenon that sperm cannot be completely liquefied at least half an hour after ejaculation or begins to liquefy more than an hour. It includes sperm liquefaction failure and sperm liquefaction delay, which are usually collectively referred to as sperm liquefaction failure.

Reasons for sperm liquefaction failure:

1. Genital infection: Acute and chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract or reproductive glands such as the epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles and prostate can reduce the motility of sperm. The impact of infection on sperm motility can be multifaceted.

2. Varicose vein: Varicose vein can damage certain structures of the testicle, affect the ability of the testicle to produce sperm, and also hinder the activity of sperm and reduce the survival rate of sperm.

3. Abnormal sperm liquefaction: Sperm failure to liquefy or high viscosity is one of the causes of sexual dysfunction, usually due to insufficient fibroprotein lysing enzymes secreted by the prostate, or a lack of trace elements (magnesium, zinc, etc.). One of the most important factors is that it affects the motility of sperm and reduces the survival rate of sperm.

4. Chromosomal abnormality: It may be caused by the loss of a certain chromosome gene fragment during the process of sperm and egg forming fertilized eggs. Autosomal and sex chromosome aberrations not only affect the number of sperm, but also affect the motility and forward movement ability of sperm.

The above is the introduction about the jelly-like semen. I believe that after reading this article, you will understand the definition and causes of sperm non-liquefaction. In this way, you will have a better understanding of the jelly-like semen. I hope that the above introduction will be helpful to friends who want to understand the jelly-like semen.
