A member asked:

I was told clumps in semen is normal but why about painful clumps that are almost impossible to pass at times ? sometimes takes multiple to pass it

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Not normal: Normal semen may appear somewhat "clumpy", however semen should not be difficult to pass. Suggestive of possible urethral stricture, which can prolonged expulsion of semen. Would also cause a weak & prolonged urinary stream. Worth consulting urologist, unless you have strong full stream when you urinate.

Dr Finkelstein agreed
