Patient's question:
If you haven't ejaculated for a long time, the semen that comes out is somewhat greenish. Is this a sign of illness?Doctor's answer:
Normal semen freshly emitted is viscous, creamy white, containing grayish-white clots. Approximately 10 to 20 minutes later, the clots liquefy on their own, turning into a translucent, cloudy, thin viscous fluid. The odor of semen is produced by arginine secreted by the prostate, giving it a unique fishy smell. If the semen appears yellow, it may indicate inflammation, such as prostatitis, with urine present in the semen. Certain antibiotics and frequent sexual activity can cause the semen to be more transparent, while longer intervals between sexual activity result in a yellower semen color. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to diagnose the cause and receive targeted treatment!
