Why is the ejaculated sperm yellow?

Under normal circumstances, male semen is milky white or light yellow, but some men's semen continues to be yellow. This situation may be caused by prostate disease or seminal vesiculitis. If you want to confirm the disease, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Only after finding out the cause can targeted treatment be given. Men are usually under a lot of stress and need to learn to relieve stress, pay more attention to rest, and develop good living habits.

Normally, normal male semen is translucent and milky white like egg white. So what is the reason for yellow sperm? Yellow sperm can be divided into physiological and pathological causes. Physiological causes of yellow semen include no or long-term sexual intercourse and frequent consumption of spicy and greasy food. Pathological factors such as reproductive infection, sperm abnormality, and sperm agglutination can also easily cause yellow sperm.

1. Abstinence for too long: If a man does not have sex for a long time, the concentration of semen will be higher, and the semen will naturally have a temporary yellowing phenomenon.

2. Eating irritating foods: Sour, spicy, hot and fried foods can easily cause sperm to turn yellow. It is better to eat more light vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C.

3. Reproductive infection: Prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis in men can also cause yellow sperm. When the prostate and seminal vesicles are inflamed, bacteria will stimulate the semen in the semen, thereby reducing the quality of semen and causing yellow sperm.

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

5. Sperm agglutination: Due to the presence of sperm antibodies, sperms agglutinate themselves, causing the seminal vesicles to not liquefy. If this continues for a long time, sperms will turn yellow.

Does yellow sperm affect fertility?

Yellow sperm may affect fertility. If the yellow sperm is caused by not having sex for a long time, it is a physiological factor, which will last for a short time and disappear soon, and will not affect fertility. However, if the yellow sperm is caused by pathological reasons, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis and other diseases, it will affect physiological functions and fertility. In severe cases, it may lead to infertility and needs to be treated in the hospital.

Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the cause of yellow sperm in order to know whether it will affect pregnancy. If the yellow sperm is caused by 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 fertility.
