Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask what color of semen is normal? We have been trying to conceive for a year now, but my wife has not gotten pregnant yet. I noticed that the color of my semen seemed a bit off during the last two observations, so I wanted to ask here what color of semen is considered normal? If it's not normal, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Normal semen is a milky white viscous fluid that liquefies into a clear and thin viscous fluid within 15-30 minutes under the action of proteolytic enzymes. Yellow semen is caused by reproductive system infections, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, etc. Long-term yellow semen can affect sperm quality and fertility. It is recommended to visit a professional urological hospital for semen bacterial culture, urine smear, and other tests to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. We wish you a speedy recovery.
