Semen with a slightly yellowish tint may result from prolonged abstinence or infrequent ejaculation. However, it could also indicate conditions such as seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, or ejaculatory duct cysts. Prolonged abstinence or lack of ejaculation may lead to yellowish semen. If the discoloration is caused by inflammation, treatment should be undertaken under a physician’s guidance.
