SEMEN LIQUEFACTION TIME
What is liquefaction time?
The liquefaction is the process of sperm becoming liquid once ejaculated.
This happens when the gel formed by proteins from the seminal vesicles is broken up. The semen thus becomes more liquid. It normally takes less than 20 minutes for the sample to change from a thick gel into a liquid.
Why is liquefaction time significant?
The semen gel liquifies to enable the sperm cells to swim more freely through the cervical mucus and towards the egg.
An liquefaction time of more than 60min can reduce the chance of conception, because the sperm cannot start travelling. This may indicate an infection or disorder of the accessory gland function.
A Postcoital Test (PCT) should be performed to access the clinical significance of Delayed Seminal Liquefaction.
How to increase male fertility
There are a number of things a man can do to improve his fertility. These include lifestyle choices such as the elimination of fast food, nicotine and alcohol, regular exercise, restful sleep and the reduction of stress.
In addition, scientific studies have show that an increase in sperm count can be achieved by taking the following food supplements:
These amino acids, vitamins and trace elements are naturally occurring nutrients and no side effects are to be expected.
On the contrary, increasing the supply of such micronutrients causes significant health benefits such as a stabilisation of the immune system, a positive effect on cardiovascular circulation and skin and hair health.
There is therefore no medical reason not to implement a micronutrient rich diet for a minimum of six months to increase fertility. Ideally this should be carried on until successful conception.

I am 49 years old man from Mumbai Indian, I got to know about AZOOSPERMIA (Zero sperm count) when I was diagnosed for it while preparing for marriage. But still, I stubbornly went ahead with the marriage hopping that it will be cured hence I was taking medical pills from hospital, unfortunately nothing work and the sperm count was still zero. Months ego my wife came with the idea of Dr. Uduehi’s medication which she saw online, I refused it at first cos I’ve tried so many which didn’t work but she went on to order for it and advised that I give it a Trier and which I did. But lo and behold, it worked and for the first time in my life I experienced sperm after 3 weeks of taking the drug. Although it was watery at the first month but it got ticker and more in quantity the following month. My wife is pregnant now, and I’m using this medium to thank the doctor and tell people about his good work.
