The sperm is crystal-like like jelly

Normal semen is the key prerequisite for ensuring good fertility. If you find that your semen is like jelly, it will inevitably make men feel confused. In addition, they will wonder why the semen is like jelly? Is there any disease?

Authoritative expert analysis: What is the reason why semen is like jelly?

Normal semen is liquid, and the semen just ejaculated is colloid, which can slowly turn into a thinner liquid within a certain period of time. This is a normal situation. However, if the semen is still colloid 30 minutes after the man ejaculates, it is called semen liquefaction.

Authoritative experts emphasize that the fact that the ejaculated semen is like jelly is also the reason why "semen does not liquefy".

What causes sperm to be like jelly when ejaculated?

The common reasons for sperm liquefaction failure are insufficient free fatty acid dissolving enzymes in male prostate metabolism caused by seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis; lack of nutrients (magnesium, zinc, etc.); congenital male prostate defects, etc.

(1) Seminal vesiculitis

The secretions of the seminal vesicle participate in the entire process of coagulation and vaporization of semen. The coagulation coefficient generated by the seminal vesicle causes the semen to coagulate. Once the seminal vesicle becomes inflamed, the metabolism of the above coefficients may be hindered, resulting in an increase in the coagulation coefficient and sperm liquefaction syndrome.

(2) Prostatitis

The male prostate participates in the whole process of sperm condensation and vaporization. The sperm liquefaction factors such as protein lysing enzymes and cellulose lysing trypsin produced by the male prostate liquefy sperm. Once the male prostate becomes inflamed, the metabolism of the above factors will be hindered, the vaporization coefficient will decrease, and sperm liquefaction syndrome will occur.

It is generally believed that the secretions of the prostate and seminal vesicles are involved in the whole process of coagulation and evaporation of semen. The coagulation factor produced by the seminal vesicles causes the semen to coagulate, while the sperm liquefaction factors such as proteinase and cellulose lytic enzyme produced by the prostate make the sperm liquefy.
