Sperm is the fertility material produced by male testicles. It is a very small tadpole-like living body. After ejaculation during sexual intercourse, the sperm will enter the female uterus to find the eggs for fertilization, so as to complete the first step of pregnancy. Generally, sperm should be liquefied, but in some cases, sperm will be jelly. What is the reason for sperm jelly?
What is the reason for sperm jelly
Sperm jelly is actually a symptom of sperm non-liquefaction. Patients with this problem usually ejaculate sticky sperm, or frozen, flaky, massive, or clumpy sperm, which is not liquefied outside the body for more than an hour. The non-liquefaction of semen is actually caused by insufficient fibrinolytic enzyme secreted by the prostate of seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis. If men find that their semen cannot be liquefied normally, they should go to the hospital for further treatment.
What is the reason why sperm looks like jelly?
Sperm like jelly is a symptom of sperm liquefaction. The sperm ejected by the patient is usually sticky or gelatinous, and will appear in the form of flakes, lumps and clumps, and will not liquefy in vitro for more than one hour.
Reasons for non-liquefaction of sperm:
1. Genital infection: chronic inflammation of epididymis, vas deferens and seminal vesicles, such as epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles and prostate, can reduce sperm motility. The influence of infection on sperm motility can be multifaceted.
2. Varicocele: Varicocele can destroy some structures of testis, affect the ability of testis to produce sperm, hinder sperm activity, and reduce sperm survival rate.
3. Abnormal sperm liquefaction: non-liquefaction or high viscosity of sperm is one of the reasons for sexual function, usually due to insufficient fibrinolytic enzyme secreted by the prostate, or lack of trace elements (magnesium, zinc, etc.). One of the most important factors is to reduce sperm survival rate by affecting sperm motility.
4. Chromosome abnormality: It may be due to the loss of a chromosome gene segment during the formation of fertilized eggs by sperm and eggs. Autosomal and sex chromosome aberrations not only affect sperm number, but also affect sperm viability and forward mobility.
