I'm worried because my sperm liquefaction time is over an hour. Everything else in my sperm report looks normal, but I'm concerned this might be affecting my wife's ability to conceive. Do you have any advice on how I can reduce the liquefaction time?

Liquefaction time is a measure of the time it takes for the semen to liquefy.semen liquefaction should take 20-30 minutes. With liquefaction time, infection and dehydration could be the cause of liquefaction.... If it's dehydration you don'tworry... If it's due to infection it has to be treated...

I'm experiencing an issue with my penis being super sensitive whenever I watch porn or have intercourse with my girlfriend. It becomes so sensitive that I ejaculate just by touching it. I'm really concerned and want to know if there's a way to treat this with medication alone. If there is, how long would it generally take for the medication to fully resolve this problem?
