What does it mean when semen appears yellow?
Disease description:
Recently, my semen has become markedly yellowish. I’ve been consistently adjusting my lifestyle and dietary habits, yet the symptom has not improved. I’d like to know: What causes yellow semen?
Hello, normal semen is typically white or slightly yellowish. Persistent yellow discoloration of semen may indicate a blockage in the prostate gland, which can cause delayed or sluggish ejaculation, thereby leading to yellowish semen.
Yellow semen is often associated with prostate dysfunction—a relatively serious urological condition in men. Once present, it may lead to symptoms such as frequent and urgent urination, and may also adversely affect semen quality. Surgical treatment at a hospital may be recommended. Additionally, proper postoperative care and lifestyle adjustments are essential for gradual recovery.
