Patient's question:
The semen that comes out is like water. In the past two months, the semen has not been like water, but it is slightly yellow. I haven't felt any other adverse reactions. Urination is normal, and I haven't felt any pain or similar symptoms. This makes me feel a bit anxious. The time between my last nocturnal emission and this one was about 22 days.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No relevant tests have been done.
What kind of help do you want: I want to ask if this is normal?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, semen is composed of secretions from reproductive organs such as prostatic fluid, seminal vesicle fluid, and epididymal fluid, along with sperm. Among these, seminal fluid is secreted by the seminal vesicles. Due to its anatomical location and relationship with ejaculation physiology, it is generally expelled during the latter half of ejaculation. It is often jelly-like in consistency and may also contain some crystalline substances, which is normal and there is no need to worry. If semen remains jelly-like for a long time after ejaculation, it may indicate poor semen liquefaction. However, this cannot be determined by yourself and requires a semen analysis at a professional urological clinic to confirm. Poor semen liquefaction can affect sperm motility, thereby impacting male fertility. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek a semen and prostate examination at a professional urological clinic as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
