What causes semen to clump and turn yellow?

Normal semen is a milky or grayish white viscous clot, which can liquefy into translucent mucus after ten minutes. If you find that the semen is abnormal in color or lumpy, you must be vigilant. What is the reason for the semen to clump?

Normal semen

The color of semen is determined by the components 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. Seminal plasma is secreted by accessory glands such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and paraurethral glands. The main component is water, as well as fat, protein particles and other components.

Causes of semen clumping

The reasons why semen is yellow and has lumps can be divided into physiological and pathological reasons. Generally speaking, physiological semen is yellow and has lumps, which is only temporary and will disappear soon. It is often caused by long-term abstinence from ejaculation. Semen is generally light yellow, but most of the semen is yellow and has lumps due to pathological reasons. This indicates that there is inflammation in the reproductive tract, which is likely to be a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. Then it is necessary to treat it in time.
