Patient's question:
Is it normal for semen to have a strong odor?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Fresh semen appears as a viscous jelly, normal semen is grayish-white, and liquefies on its own to become translucent milky white. Those who have not ejaculated for a long time may have a slightly light yellow appearance. Dark semen is often seen in hematospermia. The most common cause is first seminal vesiculitis, followed by prostatitis and posterior urethritis or posterior urethral congestion, etc. It can also be caused by inflammation spreading from adjacent organs, leading to inflammation, swelling, congestion, and bleeding of the seminal vesicle wall. Generally, at least 70% of hematospermia is caused by inflammation. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for examination to identify the specific cause of the semen, and then receive treatment as soon as possible.
