    The jelly-like appearance of sperm is caused by physiological reasons, including seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis and other causes. After the jelly-like sperm appears, you need to go to the hospital for examination at the urology department. If there are no lesions, no special treatment is required.

    1. Physiological reasons

    When the semen is discharged, it will pass through the seminal vesicles, and coagulated proteins may appear. When the semen is discharged from the body, the semen will be jelly-like or gel-like, which is a physiological reaction.

    2. Seminal vesiculitis

    Seminal vesiculitis caused by bacterial infection will cause local irritation, affect the quality of sperm, produce coagulated proteins, and cause the semen to fail to liquefy. It is necessary to use metronidazole tablets, roxithromycin tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets and other drugs as directed by the doctor for treatment.

    3. Prostatitis

    Suffering from prostatitis, due to inflammation and infection, the number of proteolytic enzymes secreted by the prostate will be reduced, which will also affect the liquefaction of semen. If you need to follow the doctor's advice, you can use azithromycin dispersible tablets, roxithromycin tablets, cefixime tablets and other drugs for treatment.
