Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

Whitish and thick semen is sometimes seen when you have intercourse after a long gap of time.
If this is the reason in your case then no treatment is needed. It will become normal once you start having sex more frequently.
Another possibility can be the infection of prostate gland. This can be diagnosed by having a culture ans sensitivity of your semen sample.
The third possible reason can be a lowered production of male hormone - testosterone. Other symptoms may include weight gain, reduced muscle tone and strength, low energy, and mild irritability.This can be ruled out by having blood testosterone levels examined.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. If there are additional concerns, I am available for your followups.
