What does semen look like

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What does semen look like?

Doctor's answer:

Visually, freshly emitted semen appears gelatinous, grayish-white or grayish-yellow. After liquefaction, semen becomes semi-transparent, milky white or milky yellow. Semen from individuals who have not ejaculated for a long time appears darker in color. In elderly individuals, semen is often dark yellow.
In terms of odor, normal semen has a distinctive fishy smell, some describe it as resembling the scent of chestnut blossoms, while others describe it as opium-like. This odor is produced when polyamines in prostatic fluid undergo oxidation. The longer the period of abstinence, the stronger the odor.
