Can Low Consistency Of Watery Semen Cause Fertility Issues?

it was a mixture of white and clear watery semen over a teaspoon worth. My semen today (a day after) oddly enough was thicker and more white but less. did the first ejaculation contain less sperm? or does it not matter and you cant tell?
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The volume is goood enough. Only the consistency has changed from thin to thick. This does not tell about tge quality of semen. It could be good or bad.
The semen quality needs to be tested by sperm count, sperm motility and morphology. These can only be tested in a laboratory.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

im guessing you mean by "good or bad", it makes no difference whether it is thick or thin?
Brief Answer:
viscosity
Detailed Answer:
Hi
In medical terms its called viscosity. The viscous thick semen liquifies in 30 min to one hour to thin form.
Then we calculate the parameters as I explained above.
Therefore what you say thin and thick does not signify anything.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
