How To Get Pregnant With High Viscous Semen?

My hsuband and I are both 37 and have been trying for a baby for eight months. My husband has had two semen tests and we have been told that he has high viscosity semen. My husband had J-pouch surgery at the age of 21 and our doctor thinks that he may have suffered nerve damage during the surgery. What can we do to conceive?

Hello
First of all , please read following , thereafter I will try to reply your question:
Viscocity or consistency is estimated in the liquefied SEMEN sample. Normal liquefied semen would allow pouring drop by drop from a container . A 5 ml pipette could also be used to test viscocity and the drop formed at the tip of the pipette should not be more than 2 cm long ( you yourself can check at home with this method).
The percentage contribution of each of secretions that make seminal fluid is as follow:
Testes 5%, seminal vesicles 46-80%, prostate 13-33 % and bulbourethral gland 2-5 %.
Number of sperm and speed of sperms move matters with morphology and motility.
However a viscous semen may limit the speed of sperms , so please write down the number , motility , morphology and speed of sperms in detail.
Viscocity is not so specific .
Hope this will help you.
In my opinion consult another INFERTILITY specialist and get his opinion.
J pouch surgery is not so specific at this moment.
Good luck.
