What causes sperm to be yellow?

Patient's question:

I've been married to my wife for several years, but we haven't had any children. Recently, every time after ejaculation, yellow fluid has been flowing from my wife's vagina. Before, it was always clear with a faint odor, and it felt strange. I also experience symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. What kind of help do I need: What could be the reason for the yellow sperm?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, yellow semen indicates some inflammation. If left untreated for a long time, it requires early treatment. Under normal circumstances, semen is milky white or yellowish-green. Yellow semen can be either physiological or pathological. Physiological yellow semen refers to the condition caused by a long period without sexual activity. Yellow semen may also be due to prolonged abstinence, resulting in light yellow semen. Due to changes in its physicochemical properties, the color may appear more yellow. This is all normal. However, abnormal semen, such as milky white or yellowish-green semen, or even yellow semen with blood, indicates inflammation in the reproductive tract, which is likely a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. If the semen is yellow, it may be a sign of bacterial prostatitis. What causes yellow semen? It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
