A member asked:

My husband's sperm is kinda clumpy and it has a grainy texture does this mean he is infertile/have trouble having kids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: Texture is a small part of the character of semen, but it doesn't necessarily determine fertility, the activity and structure/function of the sperm cells determines viability, as well as viscosity and other more specific qualities of semen...
