What Causes Thin And Watery Semen?

I have recently noticed my semen is very thin and watery - about 4 months ago I underwent a reversal for a vasectomy, which was unsuccessful.. I am 54 tears old Unto a few weeks ago my semen was thicker and normal - I have been monitoring this few the last 10 days and it still remains thin and watery and occasionally straw like in colour - smells normal

Hello,

Watery and thin semen viscosity is sometimes seen when you have intercourse or masturbation very frequently. If this is the reason in your case then no treatment is needed. It will become normal once you start having sex less frequently. Another reason can be the infection of prostate gland. This can be diagnosed by having a culture and sensitivity of your semen sample.

The third possible reason can be a lowered production of male hormone - testosterone. You are already taking a testosterone replacement therapy. With the therapy the consistency of your semen is likely to improve.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care. All the best.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
