LOINC description : Viscosity is the measurement of resistance of a liquid to flow. Viscosity is a characteristic property of a fluid and typically is a constant for a given liquid at a given temperature. [PMID: 16830959] Semen may be measured quantitatively using a viscometer rather than the traditional subjective rating method. Determining the seminal viscosity with a quantitative method may be valuable in identifying and treating the subgroup of infertile men with viscid semen. [PMID: 1358311];
