Why is the sperm yellow? Three reasons should be taken seriously

Generally speaking, male friends' sperm is white and translucent, but some male friends' sperm is yellow. This situation is also quite common. It is mainly caused by uncontrolled sexual life, which will cause the sperm to appear yellow.

1. Causes:

1. Normal human semen is off-white or slightly khaki. If the abstinence period is long, the color will change to khaki due to changes in physical and chemical properties. This is normal.

2. If you haven't ejaculated for a long time, have taken drugs or foods containing pigments, or have prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis, the semen may be earthy yellow and viscous. Semen will soon solidify into transparent, stringy, and gelatinous clots after being ejaculated, but it is normal as long as it liquefies within 30 minutes. If it cannot liquefy, consider the presence of prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis.

3. When there is inflammation in the male reproductive tract, the semen may be earthy yellow, and a large number of pus balls can be seen under a microscope. If the semen is earthy yellow for a long time, it needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to affect fertility.

2. Impact:

1. Reproductive infection: If a man has a normal sexual life but his semen continues to be yellow, this indicates inflammation in the reproductive tract, which is likely to be a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicle. The fluids secreted by the prostate and seminal vesicle are important components of semen. If inflammation occurs, bacteria will stimulate the sperm in the semen, thereby reducing the quality of sperm. In addition, the amount of fluid secreted by these two organs will decrease, thereby reducing the amount of semen, and ultimately causing male infertility.

2. Long abstinence: The color of semen is determined by the composition of semen. Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. Sperm accounts for only a very small part, and more than 90% is seminal plasma, which is secreted by accessory glands such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and paraurethral glands. If the abstinence period is long, due to changes in physical and chemical properties, the semen will appear earthy yellow, which is normal. When the frequency of sexual life returns to normal, the phenomenon of semen earthy yellow should be significantly improved, so don't worry too much. But if the phenomenon does not improve, you should consider whether it is caused by disease.

3. Sperm abnormality: This is also one of the reasons why semen is yellowish brown. More than 20% of the sperm in semen are abnormal. The abnormal sperm include abnormal shape of head, body and tail, or mixed deformity of head and body.

4. Sperm agglutination: One of the reasons why semen is earthy yellow is sperm agglutination. The presence of sperm antibodies causes sperm to agglutinate. Sperm agglutination is found in sperm agglutination tests and post-coital tests. The cause of yellow semen must be distinguished from semen liquefaction syndrome. ...
