What Causes Changes In Semen Consistency And Color?

default
Posted on Fri, 22 Jan 2016
Question: Hi there,
for the last few years my semen has become more watery. If do not masterbate or have sex for about 3-4 days it goes back to a thicker white. But it was always thick/white a few years ago regardless. For some reason if I'm intimate with a women (ie more aroused) it fires out more quantity and is more watery (not necessarily non-white though), which is weird. I had a semen analysis and it came back normal in terms of sperm count etc, which was good news. But im just a bit confused, is this a symptom of infertility (guess not)? But is this normal? Just the change for constantly thick to less thick (unless I give it a break) which is where the concern lays. I am 27.

Brief Answer:
This is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about semen thickness.

It is normal to have variations in thickness. Even thick semen becomes liquefied and becomes watery. Hence it is normal to get thick or thin clear semen once in a while.

This does not mean you are infertile. You are absolutely normal and healthy to produce baby. Semen analysis being normal is an additional advantage.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Regards
