Why Are My Semen Appearing in a Granular Form?

Causes and Solutions of Granular Semen

There are many causes for granular semen, and most of them are normal manifestations due to the coagulation enzymes. Over time, liquefaction will occur. If semen does not liquefy for a long time, it is likely related to inflammation, commonly prostatitis or epididymitis. In such cases, timely examination and treatment are recommended.

1. What Causes Granular Semen?

1. Normal Phenomenon: Due to the action of coagulation enzymes, it usually disappears after about 30 minutes. This process is called semen liquefaction.

2. Non-liquefaction Phenomenon: This may be related to epididymitis and prostatitis, such as insufficient secretion of fibrinolytic enzymes. This leads to inflammation, resulting in reduced semen volume, prolonged liquefaction time, and weakened glandular secretion function.

3. Deficiency of internal semen components such as lipids, enzymes, and proteins may also affect sperm physiology, leading to infertility.

2. What to Do If Semen Contains Granular Solids?

Granular semen is known as semen non-liquefaction. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital for examination to rule out the possibility of orchitis, prostatitis, and seminal vesicle inflammation. If there is inflammatory infection, active treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalexin or levofloxacin is necessary. Personal hygiene should also be observed. If there is no inflammatory infection, avoid excessive masturbation, control masturbation frequency, rest adequately, avoid staying up late, refrain from smoking and alcohol, maintain a regular schedule, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance physical fitness.
