Patient's question:
Is it normal for semen to be transparent, thin, and have?Doctor's answer:
It is important to pay attention to the color of normal semen. Regarding the color of normal semen you mentioned, here is the explanation. Experts say that the color of sperm is generally grayish-white or milky white, and those who have not ejaculated for a long time may have a light yellow color. If the following colors appear, it indicates an abnormal condition.① Yellow or brown purulent semen: Seen in conditions like seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis.
② Fresh red or dark red bloody semen: Seen in inflammatory conditions of the reproductive system, tuberculosis, and tumors.
If the semen appears yellowish-green, it indicates inflammation in the reproductive tract, likely indicating purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. If the semen appears red, it indicates the presence of red blood cells, usually referred to as "hematospermia." Hematospermia is most commonly caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis. Hematospermia caused by inflammation is usually light red. If it is caused by vascular malformation leading to small blood vessel rupture, the hematospermia will appear bright red, and blood clots may be observed.
