Brief answer.....there is absolutely nothing to worry
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Let me assure you that there is absolutely no problem with you.
It is very normal for the texture and appearance of the semen to change and fluctuate from time to time.
Men tend to worry very much about the thickness and thinness,but very frankly speaking there is no medical evidence that this thickness or thinness means anything.
This thinness doesn't indicate any infertility in you.
However if you want a further assurance,best would be to get a semen analysis done which would tell everything about your semen.
I am quite sure it would come out normal,but you must still get it done to get peace of mind.
There should not be any problem in future conception.
As far weakness is concerned,it is very natural after any illness or infection.
Ask your doctor to prescribe some vitamins which would make you all right.
I hope it helps however you are most welcome to revert to m or any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks.
