Why is sperm like jelly?

The importance of sperm is self-evident. If there is a problem with semen, it is likely to affect the male's fertility. In daily life, some men have encountered the phenomenon that sperm is like jelly. This abnormal shape makes them very worried that there is a problem with their sperm. So, what is the matter with sperm being like jelly? Let's take a look.

Sperm is like broken jelly, which is a typical symptom of semen liquefaction. Normal sperm is jelly-like at first after being ejaculated, and after 30 minutes, it begins to liquefy and gradually forms a liquid state. The formation of this state is mainly to provide more favorable conditions for sperm movement, which is why men with semen liquefaction are mostly infertile.

When men have urogenital diseases, such as seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis, it may cause semen not to liquefy, because the composition of semen includes prostatic fluid and seminal vesicle fluid. When semen does not liquefy, first consider whether there is a problem with these organs. If microorganisms such as protozoa and bacteria enter the urogenital organs, semen will be jelly-like and not liquefied. It is recommended that this situation must be taken seriously and the primary disease must be actively checked.

Daily Health

Sperm liquefaction is closely related to zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency needs to be supplemented in time. Relying on food alone is not comprehensive and cannot be replenished in time. This is why zinc deficiency can still occur even if you eat more zinc-containing foods.

In order to supplement zinc through diet, it is advisable to eat more foods such as whole flour, tofu and other soy products, beef, mutton, fish, lean meat, peanuts, sesame, and dairy products. Foods rich in selenium include seafood, mushrooms, eggs, garlic, ginkgo, etc. When the body is not deficient in zinc and there are no symptoms, just pay more attention to diet.
