Recently, I heard of a man who had been pregnant for one year but was not pregnant. Through online self-diagnosis, he reached the conclusion that "semen does not liquefy", which is interpreted as "sperm is too dry". He thought of drinking more water to dilute it, and drank half a ton of water in just one month. However, the symptoms of "semen does not liquefy" have not decreased. I am really afraid of it.
Is sperm not liquefied too dry?
If men do not understand male health knowledge, it is easy for men to fall into a literal misunderstanding. What is non liquefaction of semen? Experts say: This is a male disease, not because sperm is too dry, but also because it has nothing to do with drinking water. Therefore, male friends should not just understand the surface meaning, let alone attempt to drink more water to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Diseases ultimately require early treatment, and scientific treatment is the key. Ignorance can be dangerous, and a fluke mentality should be avoided.
Under normal circumstances, male semen is in a liquefied state when it is just ejected from the body, but in a short time, it will solidify into a jelly or clot shape. After about 10 to 30 minutes, semen will liquefy into a water like liquid. This process is called semen liquefaction, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.
"If semen is discharged from the body and remains gelatinous for more than 30 minutes, it is a pathological condition and is referred to as non liquefaction of semen.".
What is semen liquefaction for?
The aforementioned semen liquefaction process is a normal physiological phenomenon and a necessary condition for a successful pregnancy.
To successfully conceive, sperm must travel through the vagina, reach the uterus, and finally meet the egg in the fallopian tube. In this process, not only is the journey long, but also the process is arduous.
The newly ejaculated semen is liquid, allowing it to flow at the beginning and run further distances;
Then the semen becomes sticky, making it difficult for the sperm to move and not easily leave the semen;
"Because the vagina itself has a defense system that attacks semen as an intruder, the semen then turns into liquid, providing sperm with a condition for free movement and allowing them to reach the uterus safely.".
In summary, semen liquefaction is intended to allow sperm to enter the uterus smoothly.
What is the reason for non liquefaction of semen?
The most common reason is that there is a problem with the function of the prostate, resulting in insufficient secretion of a substance called fibrinolytic enzyme. This may be caused by conditions such as prostatitis, or some relatively rare conditions, such as congenital absence of the prostate;
Lack of trace elements (such as zinc, selenium, magnesium, etc.) can affect the normal liquefaction process of semen;
In addition, factors such as too much pressure and irregular life can also lead to non liquefaction of semen.
How can people with non liquefied semen have children?
First, treatment should be targeted at causes, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and other diseases of the urinary and reproductive system;
Secondly, we should improve our living habits, such as ensuring adequate sleep, strengthening exercise, eating a balanced diet, and supplementing trace elements appropriately;
Dear male friends, if you find that semen does not liquefy, you should choose a regular hospital for scientific treatment. Most of them can still have children.
