What color is a man's semen? Is it normal for semen to be a little yellow?

When your body is abnormal, in addition to some symptoms on your surface, your semen can also tell you the condition of your body most directly. So what is the standard for normal semen?

Do you know what color normal semen is?

Experts point out that the color of male semen will change with the health of the male's body, and the color of 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 the arginine secreted by the prostate in the semen, which is a unique fishy smell.

Long abstinence is one 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.

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.

Experts point out that 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.

Experts point out: If you encounter the situation of long-term yellow semen, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to see if the yellow semen is caused by a disease. Once the cause is determined, treatment should be given in time to prevent the disease from causing male infertility.

Pink semen is usually caused by seminal vesiculitis

Do you know? If you find that the semen is pink after ejaculation, or there is blood in the semen, this situation is mostly caused by inflammation of the seminal vesicle. The inflammation of the seminal vesicle causes congestion and edema of the seminal vesicle, and in severe cases, it causes capillaries to rupture and bleed. When the secretions of the seminal vesicle and semen pass through the seminal vesicle, they will mix with blood and produce "hematospermia".

In addition to seminal vesiculitis being the most common cause of hematospermia, prostatitis also often affects the seminal vesicles and produces hematospermia.

Of course, tumors of the seminal vesicle and prostate can also cause hematospermia, but generally speaking, cancerous hematospermia is characterized by persistence and gradual aggravation, which is different from transient hematospermia caused by inflammation. In addition, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis or systemic blood system diseases can occasionally cause hematospermia. When hematospermia occurs, the semen is red or light red, and a large number of red blood cells can be seen under a microscope. Some of them appear brown or soy-colored to the naked eye because there are a large number of red blood cells in the semen. Don't take it lightly and go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Experts say: Yellow semen is a sign of abnormal semen and can cause sperm abnormalities. Therefore, if yellow semen appears for a long time, you should pay more attention to it. When you go to a professional hospital for treatment, you should also pay attention to not masturbating, not abstaining from sex, not smoking or drinking, not eating spicy food, etc., and have a good living habit.
