Patient's question:
The sperm of a man is yellow and thick, light yellow, a bit like jelly. When a couple has sexual intercourse, it usually takes about 5 minutes, generally less than 5 minutes. They have sexual intercourse about once a week. Is it normal for a man's sperm to be thick?Doctor's answer:
Normal semen in men should be milky white or grayish white. If abstinent for too long, it may temporarily turn light yellow. When first released, semen in men is gel-like and relatively thick. After 10 to 20 minutes, it liquefies into a thin, porridge-like consistency, a process called semen liquefaction. If the semen remains gel-like or the color is abnormal, this is usually caused by inflammation such as prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis. In daily management, timely medication can help improve the condition.
