  1. Consistency of Healthy Sperm:

    • Healthy sperm typically has a thick, gel-like consistency initially.
    • It becomes more liquid or runny after a short time due to enzyme activity.

  2. Variations and Concerns:

    • Consistently runny semen might indicate a lower sperm count or other issues.
    • Occasional variations in consistency can be normal.

  3. Recommendation:

    • If concerned about sperm quality or fertility, consult a healthcare professional or urologist for personalized advice and potential testing.
