Yellowish semen in adolescents may be caused by various factors, such as prolonged abstinence, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis. It is important to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, avoid frequent masturbation or excessive sexual activity, and maintain a regular ejaculation frequency. If accompanied by other symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, or urinary pain, prompt medical evaluation is recommended to rule out inflammatory conditions like prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis. In daily life, personal hygiene should be prioritized—avoid unhygienic sexual practices and keep the genital area clean and dry. Additionally, getting sufficient sleep, maintaining a balanced diet, and engaging in regular physical exercise can help improve the condition. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for professional diagnosis and treatment.
