Long liquefaction time of sperm, i.e. non liquefaction, is an important cause of infertility. Sperm usually liquefies into a watery liquid within 10-30 minutes after solidifying into a gel like or clot like state outside the body. If it remains in a gel like state for more than 30 minutes, it is considered abnormal.
The reason for the long liquefaction time of sperm
The common reason for non liquefaction of sperm is insufficient secretion of fibrinolytic enzymes by the prostate due to seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis; Lack of trace elements (magnesium, zinc, etc.); Congenital absence of prostate gland, etc.
Methods to improve the long liquefaction time of sperm
1. Healthy diet
A healthy diet is a prerequisite for treating non liquefaction of sperm. For non liquefaction caused by some infectious factors, one should eat less or even avoid spicy and stimulating foods. In addition, oily foods should also be eaten less, as excessive dampness and heat can increase the viscosity of semen, which is not conducive to the recovery of the condition.
2. Supplement protein
Protein is the basic material that makes up semen, and a lack of protein can lead to an imbalance in the concentration of amino acids in the body, affecting the production of semen. Supplementing protein can promote sperm production and help improve sperm non liquefaction.
3. Zinc and selenium supplementation
The long liquefaction time of sperm is mainly caused by prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and trace element deficiency. Supplementing with zinc and selenium has a significant effect on improving sperm non liquefaction.
The bactericidal function of the prostate relies on the participation of zinc. Once the human body lacks zinc, the bactericidal ability of the prostate will decrease, increasing the risk of prostatitis. Zinc supplementation can effectively treat sperm non liquefaction caused by prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis.
On the other hand, trace elements zinc and selenium participate in the synthesis and transport of testosterone in men, helping to improve the activity of semen liquefying enzymes and shorten the liquefaction time of semen. Lack of these two trace elements in men's bodies can lead to sperm quality problems such as non liquefaction, oligospermia, and asthenospermia.
The impact of zinc and selenium on male reproductive health is evident. Supplementing with zinc and selenium in daily life can be achieved by consuming foods high in zinc and selenium, such as oysters, animal liver, and seafood; Eggs, pork, garlic, etc.
4. Persist in exercising
Exercise can promote metabolism, which is beneficial for the metabolic generation of sperm; Exercise can also enhance immunity, reduce the risk of male reproductive system infection, and effectively prevent the recurrence of the disease. The value of exercise lies in persistence, and the amount is not the key. It is appropriate to exercise 5 days a week and rest 2 days, with 30 minutes to 1 hour per day. Of course, men with good physical strength should exercise more, but avoid excessive fatigue from exercise.
In addition to regular exercise, male friends should develop regular lifestyle habits, have a regular schedule, and maintain sufficient sleep.
5. Do not use medication indiscriminately
Some men's sperm liquefaction cannot be cured for a long time, leading to the idea of seeking medical treatment in a hurry, blindly believing in folk remedies, and using drugs indiscriminately. Not to mention wasting money, some drugs have extremely strong side effects on the male reproductive system, ranging from killing and damaging sperm in mild cases to lifelong infertility in severe cases,
So, drug treatment should be particularly cautious. Male friends with long sperm liquefaction time should first go to the hospital for formal examination, clarify the cause, and then identify the treatment direction. They should also learn more about health knowledge to avoid being deceived and delaying the condition.
As long as we identify the root cause, prescribe the right medicine, and pay attention to our daily diet habits, exercise regularly, but do not overwork ourselves, patients with prolonged sperm liquefaction can still be cured. We must not act too hastily.
