Why is a man's sperm yellow?

Healthy men usually have long sexual lives, which can satisfy women's sexual desires. The ejaculated sperm is also translucent egg white in color, which is very suitable for fertility. However, some men's sperm often appears very yellow. There are two reasons for yellow sperm: physiological and pathological. The main physiological reason is long-term lack of sexual life. So why do men's sperm turn yellow?

First, why does a man's sperm turn yellow? Abstinence for too long: If a man does not have sex for a long time, the concentration of semen will be higher, so the semen will naturally have a temporary yellowing phenomenon. Eating irritating foods: Sour, spicy, hot and fried foods can easily cause yellow sperm. It is advisable to eat more light vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C.

Second, does yellow sperm affect fertility? Yellow sperm may affect fertility. If the yellow sperm is caused by not having sex for a long time, this is a physiological factor, which will only last for a short time and will disappear soon, and will not affect fertility. However, if the yellow sperm is caused by pathological reasons, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis and other diseases, it will affect the physiological function and fertility. In severe cases, it may cause infertility and need to be treated in the hospital. Therefore, the cause of yellow sperm must be confirmed to know whether it will affect pregnancy. If the yellow sperm is caused by disease, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment in time, so that it can be cured earlier and will not affect fertility.

Why is a man's sperm yellow? Reproductive infection: Prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis in men can also cause yellow sperm. When the prostate and seminal vesicles are inflamed, bacteria will stimulate the semen in the semen, thereby reducing the quality of semen and causing the sperm to turn yellow. Sperm abnormalities cause yellow sperm: Abnormal sperm include abnormal shapes of the head, body, and tail, or mixed head and body abnormalities. When the abnormal sperm in the semen exceeds 20%, the semen will also turn yellow. Sperm agglutination: Due to the presence of sperm antibodies, sperms agglutinate themselves, causing the seminal vesicles to fail to liquefy. If this continues for a long time, the sperm will turn yellow.
