Semen liquefaction and male infertility

   Normal ejaculate was liquid state, but immediately solidified into a jelly, about 10-20 minutes after the liquid into the water sample liquid, this process is known as semen liquefaction, is a normal physiological phenomenon. If semen removed from the body, more than 30 minutes still on jelly, then the pathological conditions are known as semen liquefaction.
    Under normal circumstances, semen freezing into a jelly state, is due to seminal vesicle secreted proteins caused by freezing. The semen secreted by the prostate protease and plasmin, can be decomposed into the coagulation protein, to promote liquefied semen.Therefore, semen liquefaction, coagulation proteins is not increased or proteolytic enzyme, plasmin caused reduced.  Carrying out semen analysis, such as the semen was not solidified state, it may be due to defects or congenital seminal vesicle ejaculatory duct due to the absence. 
    Liquefaction of the semen is not visible under the microscope sperm coagulation integrated groups, activities or just can not slow peristalsis. Such semen of sperm in the female reproductive tract significantly hampered the movement of sperm into the cervical canal can not be upstream, uterine cavity and fallopian tubes, the egg can not be met.Therefore, can not make the woman pregnant. Did not result in semen liquefaction was mainly due to inflammation of the prostate or seminal vesicles caused.
