Question:
I have noticed just today and only noticed it today, that when I ejaculated I had this gel, along with regular semen. I don’t know what this means, and I’m very worried and concerned.
Answer:
Your semen is composed of contributions from several glands inside of you. The bulk comes from the seminal vesicles, which produces a liquid high in sugars to feed your sperm. There is also sperm that comes from your testicles. Your prostate gland also contributes chemicals to the semen. One is a chemical that wakes up your sperm to get them to start swimming. Another is a liquid that causes your semen to gel temporarily so that when you ejaculate, it comes out as a thick package.
What you are seeing is that gel compound, but your prostate gland added too much and it didn’t get well-blended in with the rest of the semen. That isn’t unusual, especially when you are younger. It can also happen if you have not ejaculated in a while. It takes the body a while to get all the various organs to work in harmony with each other. It is nothing to worry about and it causes no harm.
