How to treat sperm gelatin?

In modern society, many couples cannot have children. The main reason is not because of sexual disharmony, but because of a certain disease that affects conception. For example, some women have blocked fallopian tubes, which means that the egg cannot be discharged normally and naturally cannot combine with sperm to conceive. Some men also suffer from various infertility symptoms, which will also affect their wives' pregnancy. So, how to regulate sperm gel?

1. Impact of Fertility

If semen fails to liquefy completely within 30 minutes after ejaculation, it is called delayed liquefaction, which has some impact on fertility; if it still does not liquefy after more than 1 hour, it is called semen liquefaction. The sperm is trapped in the semen, just like a person swimming in mud, and it is difficult to move. This is one of the common causes of male infertility.

The coagulation and liquefaction of semen are mainly balanced and regulated by the liquefaction factors and coagulation factors secreted by the prostate and seminal vesicles. When there is a problem with the prostate, such as prostate inflammation or secretory dysfunction (low androgen levels, etc.), semen will not liquefy.

Since abnormal semen liquefaction may be accompanied by reproductive tract infections such as prostatitis, anti-infection treatment and drugs to improve prostate secretion function are the fundamental way to improve semen liquefaction. For patients who are ineffective with the above methods, it is possible to consider pre-processing the semen in vitro and then artificial insemination (AIH) with the husband's semen.

2. Disease Hazards

If the sperm does not liquefy, it basically cannot make the woman pregnant. The sperm does not liquefy is mostly caused by prostate disease. When the prostate or seminal vesicle is inflamed, the secretion of proteolytic enzymes is lacking or damaged, resulting in an imbalance of the enzyme system. As a result, the semen of some patients does not liquefy after being placed for 1 hour, or the liquefaction is incomplete and the viscosity is too high, making the problem very serious. This is called semen liquefaction, which is a pathological phenomenon. In this case, sperm cannot migrate and will cause infertility. Therefore, seminal vesicle and prostate diseases are important causes of semen liquefaction.

90% of patients with semen liquefaction failure have prostate dysfunction, the most common cause of which is prostatitis, which causes a decrease in the secretion of lytic enzymes and the occurrence of liquefaction failure. In addition, diseases such as varicocele can cause testicular endocrine dysfunction, reduced testosterone secretion, and a decrease in the secretion function of the accessory glands, which can also cause semen liquefaction failure, thereby affecting sperm motility.

Normal sperm does not liquefy. To facilitate the retention of sperm in the female vagina, the semen just ejaculated is initially in a solidified state, and the sperm is inactive at this time. The solidified semen will then liquefy in a short time, and the sperm will begin to move. Under normal circumstances, this process will not exceed 1 hour. If it exceeds, it is considered that the semen does not liquefy, which will result in a long-term restriction of sperm activity and inability to conceive.

3. Notes

1. Exercise more. Studies have shown that excessive obesity in men can cause the temperature in the groin to rise, which can damage the growth of sperm and lead to infertility. Therefore, keeping weight within a standard range can improve sperm quality.

2. Relax your mind. Excessive mental stress also has a negative impact on sperm growth, so men should relax themselves appropriately.

3. Go to the clinic for regular checkups. Bacterial infection is also an important factor in male infertility. You should go to the doctor regularly to receive related examinations for chlamydia and prostate.

4. Go to saunas and steam rooms less often. High-temperature steam baths directly damage sperm and inhibit sperm production.

5. Quit smoking and drinking. Data shows that smoking and drinking are the main factors that reduce the quantity and quality of sperm.

6. Reduce the use of cosmetics. Studies have shown that harmful substances such as phthalates contained in cosmetics are the "culprit" for the decline in male sperm count and fertility in the past few decades.

7. Develop scientific eating habits: Patients with sperm liquefaction should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods in their daily diet, such as chili peppers, wine, fennel, pepper, etc. These are all taboos.
