Why is semen viscous and yellow

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Why is my semen thick and yellow?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, normal semen is a milky white viscous fluid that liquefies into a transparent 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, etc., to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. We wish you a speedy recovery.
