What color should normal semen be?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I would like to ask you what color should normal semen be? It's been almost 7 months of trying to conceive, and my wife hasn't gotten pregnant yet. I observed my semen twice and felt that it seemed a bit abnormal in color, always giving me a slightly yellowish impression. I would like to ask, what color should normal semen be?

Doctor's answer:

If you haven't ejaculated for a long time, occasionally ejaculate, or experience nocturnal emissions, the semen will be light yellow.
Guidelines:
If you ejaculate frequently, the semen will be pure white. This is considered normal. In pathological conditions, such as semen containing blood streaks, it is often caused by inflammation. If the semen is severely yellow, or accompanied by symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating, it is likely caused by prostatitis. In such cases, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis.
