Generally, freshly ejaculated semen in the form of jelly is considered normal, but if it remains jelly-like after 30 minutes, it is abnormal, often indicating incomplete or lack of semen liquefaction. Semen consists of not only sperm, but also other components such as prostatic fluid. There are coagulating enzymes in the prostatic fluid that can cause sperm coagulation and result in a jelly-like consistency. If this condition persists for a long time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for semen analysis.
1. It is normal for semen to appear jelly-like after ejaculation. However, if it remains in this state for more than half an hour, it is a pathological condition known as semen non-liquefaction. Once you notice any abnormality in the shape and color of your ejaculated semen, you should seek immediate medical diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential diseases and deterioration of the condition.
2. The main causes of semen non-liquefaction in men include irregular diet, irregular lifestyle, excessive sexual activity, excessive masturbation, sexual disorders, unclean sexual practices leading to genital infections, and diseases such as prostatitis, seminal vesicle inflammation, varicocele, and congenital diseases.
3. If the semen ejaculated by a man cannot be completely liquefied within 30 minutes, it is known as semen non-liquefaction syndrome. Normally, semen is a flowing liquid with no fine threads or breaks when stirred. Non-liquefied semen appears viscous or jelly-like, and may even have clumps. When stirred, it will produce elongated fine threads, indicating semen non-liquefaction.
