Is thick clumpy semen normal?

dude9964405 over a year ago

Hi.

Im a relatively healthy 27 year old but i have recently just noticed some weird stuff going on with my semen!

I'm in a steady long term relationship and over the course of this weekend we have had sex a whole lot. I ejaculated about 9 times since saturday morning (its now monday) but this evening i was masturbating and i noticed that when i come my semen was really really thick. i could actually pick this stuff up with my finger and it was like "stringy" and "clumpy". There also wasnt a whole lot of it either but i think that maybe down to my concentration going a bit when i see what had came out. I have to say im a little worried as my girlfriend does remark that i produce quite a lot of semen when i cum. Is this consistency normal?

Dont get me wrong, its been clumpy before but this was like nothing i had ever seen.

I know that i have no diseases or infections as we are tested regularly also.

I suppose im worried about my fertility because in the past when i was younger i abused drugs and alcohol quite a lot. although i dont do that much any more, i smoke 5 - 10 a day and drink once a week.

Does this sound absurd?

your answers are greatly appreciated.

Hey there, as you said yourself, you are healthy, so I would also like to tell you one thing - don't be stressed about this. I know that you are might be worried that you don't have a healthy semen, but sometimes this whole story is not what it might seem. So, don't worry - chunky or clumpy semen is normal and is usually not a symptom of a sexually transmitted infection or similar things. Texture, color, smell - it all can vary. Your semen can also change in consistency and appearance in the minutes after leaving the penis and in so many males, after the ejaculation, proteins contained in semen can cause it to become thick. That is the answer to your question. Have a nice day.

Try drinking more water. It usually helps. ;-)

Sounds as if your dehydrated. i searched the net for hours about this once, and found that adding more Zinc to my diet, either in natural or a supplimental form, and increasing my water intake helped alot.

There may be several explanations, including dehydration or infrequent ejaculation, but one common, but overlooked, cause is low testosterone. Men do not often put these symptoms together, but viscous or clumpy semen is often asscociated with a lowered production of male hormones. Other symptoms may include weight gain, reduced mucle tone and strength, low energy, and mild irritability.

Have the same problem with the Jelly like substance in my sperm. Found this on another site ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed

Basically states---
Semen is usually white or grey, but can occasionally appear yellowish. Pink or red semen suggests that blood is present. Although this is only rarely due to a serious health problem, men with semen that seems bloodstained should seek advice from their family doctor.

Semen clots almost immediately after ejaculation, forming a sticky, jelly-like liquid. It will liquefy again in 5 to 40 minutes. It is quite normal for semen to form jelly-like globules and this does not indicate any health or fertility problem. Failure of clotting and subsequent liquefaction can cause fertility problems.

Seems like we are all fine

i recently got checked and i gt a strange and weird answer from my doctor. the justification cannot be proven scientifically. he said that in a females life menses gives her an opportunity to conceive once in every month. now the conception may or may not occur, however the most fertile days are from 11-18th day of her cycle. similarly in a males system the sperm can be produced everyday which can be used for conception of a baby but they are not the most fertile and best sperms. the best sperms are produced from 25-29 years of age and from 45- 49years of age. hence during this stage the testicles produces a thick semen to preserve it, and for more mobility it is accompanied by a very thin but sticky fluid. this also happens when body does not get proper exercise. also with age testicles may produce sperms but no semen for mobility which can also make it thick and clumpy. He also advised to keep sugar levels in check and blood pressure levels also. eat and drink healthy, also sexual intercourse can b done daily however if one wants to enjoy it thoroughly the organ must go through some level of abstinence. As per him, if a couple if staying in the same house then sexual abstinence should be 1 week, unless trying for conception. if the couple are not seeing each other on a daily basis then once in four days is a good period.

If you are taking anabolic steroids, your testes stop producing testosterone because your body is now reliant on steroids. Your testosterone levels are low...

Do you drink much milk. I am a big milk drinker and i can be be like this. However, cutting milk out my diet for a week (not having cereal for breakfast) made a massive difference to my sperm

I had this problem. Water is the key. After two days of drinking as much water as I could my semen was back to normal. It's all in the diet. I drink a lot of alcohol and eat fast food quite often. But by eating more fruit and drinking PLENTY of WATER everything was fine.

Don't listen to this guy, you don't need to eat your own spunk. Just drink water and you'll survive, exercise never killed anyone either.
