Patient's question:
Is semen yellow? If it's abnormal, is it possible that it's caused by not ejaculating for a long time?!Doctor's answer:
Hello, the semen of a normal man is a milky white liquid with a special odor. After it is expelled from the mouth, under the action of a protein-like substance secreted by the seminal vesicles, it immediately turns into a milky white or slightly yellow translucent jelly-like substance. If a man's semen turns yellow for a long time, it may affect fertility. Additionally, a change in the color of semen also indicates that there is a problem with the male reproductive system. The discoloration of semen is a relatively common phenomenon, and its main causes are two: one is prolonged abstinence; the other is caused by reproductive infections.The color of semen is determined by its composition, which is related to prostatic fluid. If a man's semen turns yellow and this condition persists for a long time, it is likely that there is an issue with the prostate. It is recommended to visit a regular medical clinic for a check-up.
