Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for several years, but we haven't had any children. Recently, every time after ejaculation, yellow fluid has been flowing from my wife's vagina. Before, it was always clear with a faint odor, which felt strange. I also experience symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. What kind of help do I need: What could be the reason for the yellow sperm?Doctor's answer:
Hello, male semen turning yellow indicates some inflammation, and if left untreated for a long time, it requires early treatment. Under normal circumstances, semen is milky white or light yellow-green. Yellow semen can be either physiological or pathological. Physiological yellow semen refers to the condition caused by a long period without sexual activity. Yellow semen may also be due to prolonged abstinence, where the semen appears light yellow due to changes in its physicochemical properties, making the color slightly yellower. This is all normal. However, abnormal semen, such as milky white or light yellow-green semen, or even yellow semen with blood, indicates inflammation in the reproductive tract, which is likely a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. If the semen is yellow, it may be a sign of bacterial prostatitis. What causes yellow semen? It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
