Patient's question:
Last time I had masturbation, after the semen flowed out, a lot of grayish-black liquid followed. Afterwards, I felt extremely weak. What is that grayish-black liquid? Is it serious?First follow-up question: Thank you, doctor. What tests should I have?
Second follow-up question: Could the grayish-black liquid possibly be prostatic fluid?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal semen that has just been released is viscous, milky white, and contains grayish-white clumps. After about 10–20 minutes, the clumps 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. Your condition is abnormal. It is recommended to seek timely examination and treatment to avoid delaying the condition and affecting your health.
