Patient's question:
What is the reason for the yellow color of male sperm?Doctor's answer:
Hello, mainly because men have not ejaculated for a long time, the semen is stored in the body for an extended period, and the semen itself undergoes physicochemical changes. The color of the semen may turn slightly yellow, which is normal. If the semen remains consistently yellow, it indicates inflammation in the reproductive tract, likely caused by conditions such as prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis. If the prostate becomes inflamed or infected, the semen can also be affected, leading to changes in its color and texture. In this case, the yellowish semen may be the result. It is recommended to actively seek medical examination in the urology department to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
