What causes yellow semen? What is normal semen?

Yellow semen? This is a disease. This disease is a common phenomenon in male semen. Many men do not know what causes yellow semen. Why does semen turn yellow? What kind of semen is considered normal?

Why is the semen yellow?

If the semen is yellow, it may be an inflammation such as prostatitis, or the semen may contain urine. Taking certain antibiotics and frequent sexual intercourse will make the semen more transparent; while longer sexual intercourse will produce yellower semen. If the semen is light yellow, combined with weak ejaculation and urinary urgency, it is likely related to urinary tract infections such as prostatitis. When the activity of sperm is restricted, asthenospermia will occur, making it impossible for sperm to enter the egg well, thus causing male infertility.

Normal semen

The amount of semen that a normal man ejaculates through sexual intercourse or masturbation is 3-5 ml. Semen is milky white, weakly alkaline, and has a special fishy smell, which is mainly the smell of prostatic fluid. Among them, seminal plasma accounts for more than 95%, and sperm accounts for less than 1%. Every cubic centimeter of testicular tissue can produce 2 million sperm every day, which means that every male testicle can produce tens of millions to hundreds of millions of sperm every day. Even if these sperm are not excreted from the body, they will age, die, and finally be digested by enzymes.

Some male friends will also have yellow semen in the first ejaculation after a long period of abstinence, and the semen will return to normal afterwards. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the semen is yellow frequently, you should be alert, as it may be pathological and you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.
