Frequent yellowing of semen indicates prostate crisis

There are two factors for yellow sperm: physiological and pathological. The physiological one is caused by long-term lack of sexual life, while the pathological one needs your attention because it may be caused by the prostate.

What color is normal human semen?

The color of a man's semen will change with his physical health condition, and the color of the semen can also reveal whether the sperm quality is up to standard.

Normally, the semen just ejaculated is viscous, milky white, and contains grayish white clots. After about 10-20 minutes, the clots liquefy themselves and become translucent, turbid, thin mucus. The odor of semen is produced by arginine secreted by the prostate in the semen, which is a unique fishy smell.

Long abstinence period is the main reason for yellow semen

Long abstinence is the main reason for yellow semen. The color of semen is determined by the composition of semen. Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma.

Sperm only accounts for a small part of the total amount, 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, pigment particles, lecithin bodies, enzymes, fructose and other components.

Normal human semen is off-white or slightly yellowish brown. If the person abstains from sex for a long time, the color will become yellower due to changes in the physical and chemical properties.

Long-term yellowing of semen may be caused by inflammation

If semen is yellow for a long time, men need to pay attention to it. If semen is yellow for a long time, it may be caused by inflammation, such as prostatitis, purulent infection of the seminal vesicle (spermatocystitis), etc.
