Semen is particularly sticky

The main reason for the extra thick semen is seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis, and it can cause the patient to experience mental fatigue and soreness of the waist and knees, so we should understand the cause and symptoms of this symptom, and then treat it in time. The disease of extra thick semen will affect the sex life of male friends. It is recommended that male friends can understand the content introduced below.

Human semen is discharged in liquid form. Due to the coagulation factor produced by the special seminal vesicle, the semen immediately solidifies into a jelly-like state. After 10 to 20 minutes, the semen liquefies under the action of a series of proteolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate. Fertility can be affected if the semen does not liquefy or the viscosity of the liquefied semen is too high.

Causes

Common causes of thick semen include insufficient proteolytic enzyme secreted by the prostate due to seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis; lack of trace elements (magnesium, zinc, etc.); congenital prostate deficiency, etc. It is generally believed that the secretions of the prostate and seminal vesicles are involved in the coagulation and liquefaction of semen. The coagulation factors produced by the seminal vesicles cause semen coagulation, while the semen liquefaction factors such as proteinase and fibrolytic protease produced by the prostate liquefy the semen. Once the seminal vesicle or prostate is inflamed, the secretion of the above factors may be impaired, resulting in an increase in coagulation factors or a decrease in liquefaction factors, resulting in thick semen.

Clinical manifestations

The semen is sticky, milky white, and contains grayish white clots. It may be accompanied by fatigue, soreness of waist and knees, dizziness, back pain, and pain in the lumbar sacral region, groin, and testicles.

Check

1. Procalcitonin (PCT) test PCT test reflects the activity of systemic inflammatory response.

2. Routine examination of semen and prostatic fluid Semen and prostatic fluid examination can diagnose a variety of male reproductive system diseases.

Diagnosis

1. It is detected during routine semen examination and may not cause obvious systemic symptoms.

2. It is often secondary to prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. Clinical symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, white discharge from the urethra, hematuria, impotence, premature ejaculation, and spermatorrhea.

3. Semen liquefaction test: no liquefaction in 60 minutes. 4. Prostatic fluid examination: positive.

Differential diagnosis

1. Excessive semen volume Excessive semen volume refers to a condition in which the semen volume is more than 6 ml, the semen is thin, and the number of sperm is very small.

2. Decreased sperm quality Decreased sperm quality means that the number, survival rate, motility, density, etc. of sperm are reduced at the same volume level.

treatment

1. Treat the symptoms after a clear diagnosis. Thoroughly treat primary lesions such as prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. If it is caused by a lack of trace elements, it is recommended to use B vitamins.

2. If it is not a pathological phenomenon, no treatment is needed. Pay attention to abstinence from masturbation or sexual life.

3. Since the latter part of semen mainly contains secretions from the seminal vesicles, which makes the semen too viscous, you can use the segmented ejaculation method, leaving the first three ejaculations of semen in the vagina, immediately pulling out the penis, and ejaculating the rest of the semen outside.

Prevention

1. Pay attention to protecting the prostate in daily life, such as not drinking alcohol excessively, eating less spicy food, avoiding long-term riding and sitting, having regular sex, and paying attention to keeping the area warm.

2. Enhance your own resistance and improve the quality of your sex life.

3. Improve microcirculation, promote blood flow rate and volume, and increase the oxygen supply and use capacity of human tissue cells. Provide sperm with sufficient nutrition, thereby improving sperm quality.
