Why is the sperm yellow?

Sperm is a substance with reproductive function produced in the male body. If a woman wants to successfully conceive, she must have sperm. If there is a problem with the sperm, it will directly cause infertility in the woman. Many men notice that the sperm they ejaculate is yellow. What is the reason for the yellow sperm? Is it normal for sperm to be yellow? What should we do? Let's find out together.

1. What is the reason for yellow sperm?

Under normal circumstances, normal male semen is transparent and egg white-like. So what is the reason for yellow sperm? Sperm yellowing can be divided into physiological and parasitic reasons. Physiological reasons for yellow semen include no or long-term asexuality, frequent consumption of spicy and greasy food. Pathological factors such as reproductive infection, teratospermia, and sperm agglutination can also easily cause sperm to turn yellow.

1. Abstinence for too long: If a man does not have sex for a long time, the concentration of his semen will be higher, so of course his semen will turn yellow temporarily.

2. Eating irritating foods: Sour, spicy, hot and fried foods can easily cause yellow sperm. You should eat more light-tasting vegetables and fresh fruits rich in vitamin C.

3. Reproductive infection symptoms: Prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis in men can also cause yellow sperm. Inflammation of the prostate and seminal vesicles in men can cause bacteria to irritate the semen in the semen, thereby reducing the quality of semen and causing yellow sperm.

4. Abnormal sperm syndrome causes yellow sperm: Sperm abnormality includes abnormal shapes of the head, body, and tail, or mixed abnormalities of the head and body. When the sperm abnormality exceeds 20% in the semen, the sperm color will also turn yellow.

5. Sperm agglutination: Because of the presence of sperm antibodies, the male sperm itself agglutinates, causing the seminal vesicle to not vaporize. In the long run, the male sperm will turn yellow.

2. Does yellow sperm affect pregnancy?

Does yellow sperm affect pregnancy? Yellow sperm may affect pregnancy. If the yellow sperm is caused by a lack of sexual intercourse for a long time, it is a physiological factor, which lasts for a short time and disappears quickly, and will not affect pregnancy. However, if the yellow sperm is caused by physiological reasons, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis and other diseases, it will affect the endocrine system and affect pregnancy. In severe cases, it may cause infertility and needs to be treated in a hospital outpatient clinic.

Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the cause of sperm yellowing in order to understand whether it will affect pregnancy. If the sperm yellowing is caused by a disease, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, so that it can be cured earlier and will not affect pregnancy.
