Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My semen is a mixture of light yellow and transparent colors, and half of it is not liquid, like fruit jelly, a bit sticky! Is this normal???Doctor's answer:
There are two reasons why semen appears yellow and jelly-like: Generally, physiological yellow semen is only temporary and tends to disappear quickly, often due to prolonged abstinence from ejaculation. Semen typically appears light yellow, but most cases of yellow semen are caused by pathological reasons.First, normal semen should be translucent, like egg white, slightly cloudy with a hint of yellow. If the period of abstinence is long, the color may turn slightly yellow due to changes in its physical and chemical properties. Once the frequency of ejaculation returns to normal, the yellow semen phenomenon should improve significantly, and there is no need to worry too much. However, if the condition does not improve, it may be caused by a disease.
Apart from the case where yellow semen occurs due to prolonged lack of sexual activity, other instances are likely caused by inflammation.
