Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's wrong, I've been feeling extremely uncomfortable down there, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Why is the semen light yellow?Doctor's answer:
Hello, freshly emitted semen is viscous, milky white, and contains grayish-white clumps. After about 10 to 20 minutes, the clumps liquefy on their own, turning into a translucent, cloudy, thin viscous fluid. The odor of semen is produced by arginine secreted by the prostate, giving it a unique fishy smell. If the semen appears yellow, it may indicate inflammation, such as prostatitis, or the presence of urine in the semen.
