Patient's question:
After varicocele surgery in the first month, nocturnal seminal fluid was relatively viscous and milky, which is normal. At one and a half months, during a follow-up check, the doctor told me I could carefully observe the seminal fluid volume. After intercourse, the seminal fluid color was yellowish and watery. For a period of time, the quality of nocturnal seminal fluid was also poor, and the sensation of nocturnal emission was also weak. Now it's been about two months (the doctor said it's important to regularly discharge seminal fluid), but the quality of seminal fluid during intercourse is still not good and appears yellow. On the night of intercourse, nocturnal emission occurred, and it continued for three consecutive days (until today). Additionally, I feel a soreness in the left testicle, left leg (including the sole of the foot), and left buttock. The laparoscopic wound has healed well. Hello, what is wrong with me?Doctor's answer:
It is normal for semen to turn yellow after a long period without ejaculation. Yellow semen is often seen in cases of prolonged abstinence or inflammation. Semen quality cannot be confirmed by simply observing its appearance with the naked eye. To understand semen quality, it is best to conduct a semen analysis. Additionally, nocturnal emissions are a normal phenomenon, but frequent emissions are not ideal and may be related to your left-sided discomfort. Varicocele can be stabilized, but treatment usually takes a long time and is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
