Why does ejaculated sperm look like jelly?

The shape of male ejaculation is directly related to male fertility. If the shape of sperm is abnormal, it will affect male fertility. Some men usually ejaculate sperm like jelly. Generally, this is mostly due to sperm liquefaction, which requires active treatment. If not treated, it will affect male fertility. Why do sperms usually ejaculate like jelly?

Why does ejaculated sperm look like jelly?

The ejaculated semen includes sperm and seminal plasma. There is coagulase in the seminal plasma, so it will coagulate the sperm. The ejaculated sperm is like jelly, which is generally a normal phenomenon, because the sperm just ejaculated has not yet liquefied, and is relatively viscous. Some of them have granular jelly-like substances. Generally, after about 15 to 30 minutes, the semen slowly liquefies and becomes liquid. The color of the semen just ejaculated is generally grayish white or light yellow. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital for a semen analysis test, which will help clarify the condition.

Causes of sperm abnormalities

1. Genital infection: When a man's genitals are infected, it will have a great impact on sperm. For example, when the epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle or prostate have some acute or chronic inflammation, it can reduce the motility of sperm and have a great impact on sperm vitality, thus causing non-liquefaction.

2. Varicose cord: If a man has this problem, it will damage certain structures of the testicles, thereby affecting the spermatogenic ability of the testicles. It will also hinder the activity of sperms, reduce the sperm survival rate, and is also very detrimental to fertility.

3. Abnormal sperm liquefaction: Sperm that does not liquefy or has high viscosity will also affect the quality of sperm and reproductive function. The reason why sperm does not liquefy like jelly is mainly due to insufficient fibroprotein dissolving enzymes secreted by the prostate or due to the lack of trace elements. These factors can affect the motility of sperm and thus reduce the survival rate of sperm.

4. Chromosomal abnormalities: If the autosomes and sex chromosomes are abnormal, it will not only affect the number of sperm, but also the motility and forward movement of the sperm.

The ejaculated sperm is like jelly, which is a sign of sperm liquefaction. This sperm abnormality will have a great impact on male fertility and may lead to infertility. There are other manifestations of sperm abnormality, each with different causes. Men of childbearing age must pay attention to it. When sperm abnormality is found, attention should be paid to symptomatic treatment to restore normal fertility.
