The semen is slightly yellow and has a gel-like substance. What could be the reason for this?

Patient's question:

There are gel-like substances (in strips), a bit like jelly.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the color of semen is normally grayish-white or slightly yellow. After ejaculation, semen becomes gelatinous due to the action of seminal vesicle coagulase, and then transforms into a liquid within 15 to 30 minutes under the effect of prostatic liquefying enzyme, which is known as semen liquefaction. If semen remains unliquefied 30 minutes after ejaculation, it is considered abnormal. Based on your current description, it is important to be aware of the possibility of other conditions such as prostatitis. It is recommended to take a comprehensive approach and seek medical examination at a hospital when necessary to complete various tests. Early treatment plans can be provided based on the examination results to suit the progression of the condition. Wishing you good health.
