What Causes Semen Thickness?

My husband s semen is very hick and very very sticky. I have to scrub it hard with a hand towel to remove it. I know he drinks plenty of water so can t be the case. Also it s our second time getting pregnant. First was an ectopic pregnancy and this one is normal. I am 22 weeks along. My question still remains why is his semen so glue like. Ps if he ejaculate inside to many times. I get like an allergy reaction to it with hives. But goes away with home remedies and time. please help me on understanding. Pps he won t go to the doctor so no point of trying anymore.

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, there are documented cases of semen plasma allergy by many women across the globe, where there is allergy type hives, itching, burning after semen ejaculation, which resolves on its own or with some remedy. So far as thick semen is concerned, it is the mechanics of sertoli cells of the testis which is responsible for that. If he does not wish to visit an ER, it is bet recommended for primary lab report of semen analysis and further guidelines.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
