What Causes Thin And Watery Semen While Having Sleep Apnea?

Hello. Me and my husband have been married for a little over a year now. We have been trying to conceive for quite some time now & we are not getting any luck. We are both healthy people. But he does have sleep apnea & it s really bad. Also, his sperm is very very watery & urine-like. It s very clear and watery, almost like he s peeing. What does that mean? Does his sleep apnea have anything to do with it?

Hii , Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

however there is no established medical proof linking sleep apnea with low sperm count but there are many studies showed that men with disturbed or poor sleep have a reduced sperm count compared to men who reported restful sleep

semen has many component and sperms are one of them ,the whitish opalescence of semen is due to the protein it contains and watery semen may be caused by poor diet also

as you mention the semen is very watery , it is necessary to get it examine in that case
a thorough examination of semen will reveal everything including quantity of sperms and also mobility and quality of sperms
along with this he should be treated for sleep apnea too

remember it needs just one sperm to fertilize the egg , so even if your hubby has low sperm count there are many ways to get pregnant in today's advance world including Artificial insemination and IVF etc

i would strongly suggest you to never loose hope & see Your Dr to rule out the real cause behind your problem

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
