Hello, there are numerous factors that can cause yellowish semen. For instance, taking certain vitamins or medications may lead to physiologically yellow semen—primarily due to drug metabolism affecting semen color. Additionally, unhealthy lifestyle habits—such as long-term smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, chronic sleep deprivation, or frequent intake of spicy foods—may also contribute to yellowish semen. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
