Long-term yellowing of semen

Male semen is a liquid that is discharged through the ejaculatory duct when the nerves are highly excited. Normally, it is milky white or grayish white. If a man is in a state of long-term abstinence, the first ejaculation will be a yellow liquid, and then the color will return to milky white or grayish white. Long-term yellowing of semen may be caused by the prostate. The following is a detailed introduction. Let's take a look.

In fact, there is no need to panic when a man's semen is yellow, because in many cases, if he abstains from sex for a long time, his semen will naturally be yellow. So what should we do about the phenomenon of yellow semen? First, men with yellow sperm should pay attention to consuming more foods rich in calcium, such as milk, sweet almonds, kelp, anchovies, coriander, shiitake mushrooms, mustard greens, pork rib soup, soy products, raisins, seaweed, shrimp skin, kelp, day lily, etc.

2. In addition, the activity of sperm is related to the amount of fructose contained in the seminal vesicle. If the fructose content in semen is low, it is easy to cause dead sperm. Fructose is especially abundant in honey and various fruits, such as pears, apples, grapes, pineapples, and sweet oranges, so you should pay attention to nutrition. Foods recommended by traditional Chinese medicine for replenishing sperm, strengthening yang, and replenishing sperm, such as river shrimp, fish maw, bird meat, beef, dog meat, wolfberry, walnuts, and leeks, can also be eaten.

3. Pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. Do not smoke, drink or eat spicy food. Adjust the frequency of sexual life and do not indulge excessively. If you have the habit of masturbation, you must give it up. Eat more nourishing foods such as walnuts, black sesame, black glutinous rice, longan, etc.

The color of semen refers to the color of semen after male ejaculation. Normal male semen is grayish white or milky white right after ejaculation. After liquefaction, it becomes translucent and slightly turbid milky white. For those who have abstinence for a long time, it may be slightly light yellow. Semen that is bright red, light red, dark red or soy sauce-colored and contains a large number of red blood cells is called hematospermia, which may be caused by non-specific inflammation of the prostate and seminal vesicles, genital tuberculosis, tumors or stones. Yellow or brown purulent semen is seen in prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis.

Clinical significance

1. If the semen is milky white, yellow-green or brown and purulent, it indicates inflammation of the male reproductive tract or accessory glands, such as prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis.

2. If it appears light yellow, it may be seen in people who have not ejaculated for a long time.

3. If the semen appears pink or red, or red blood cells can be seen under a microscope, it is bloody semen, which is commonly seen in patients with accessory glands or posterior urethritis (non-specific inflammation of the prostate and seminal vesicles), and occasionally in patients with genital tuberculosis or tumors or stones.

Normal value reference range

Normal semen is grayish white or milky white right after ejaculation. After liquefaction, it becomes translucent and slightly turbid milky white.

Notes

Before collecting semen, you must stop having sex for 2 to 7 days, and you must not masturbate or have nocturnal emissions. You should also abstain from smoking and drinking, and avoid taking drugs that affect spermatogenesis. Your genitals must be kept clean before semen collection.
