Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per the result is given in your query, the semen did not liquefy even after 3 hours this is referred to as delayed liquefaction.
Liquefaction time is a measure of the time it takes for the semen to liquefy.
Semen is a thick gel at the time of ejaculation and normally becomes liquid within 20 to 30 minutes after ejaculation.
Delayed liquefaction may indicate a problem with the prostate, the seminal vesicles, or the bulb urethral glands.
You are advised to consult a surgeon for proper clinical evaluation and to rule out the possible cause of delayed liquefaction like infection and inflammation of the above listed glands.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
