If a man has yellow sperm, this is not a reason for worry. In fact, it can be gray, and translucent, and milky white, and yellowish. The main thing is that its color should not be pink and especially red, since this indicates the presence of blood in the semen. In this case, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible. The remaining shades of seminal fluid are quite normal.
Sperm or ejaculate is called an opaque white fluid released during ejaculation from the urethra of the penis. It contains various components produced by the male reproductive system. Sometimes it is from them, as well as from the diet, that the color of the seminal fluid and its consistency depend.
In fact, natural sperm is not always white and not always opaque. Its color, volume, transparency and density vary depending on the state of health, food eaten, age, etc. So, yellowish sperm is in the presence of pathology of the accessory genital glands. Basically, the color change of the ejaculate and its thickening occurs with inflammatory diseases of the genital area, less often with tumors.
Sperm of yellow color can be with excessive consumption of carrots, citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines, etc.). As soon as a person limits himself in these products, the color of sperm will return to normal.
A change in the shade of seminal fluid may also be due to taking medications, for example, vitamin complexes. Refusing for a while from their use, you can normalize the color of the ejaculate.
The rhythm of sexual activity can also affect the color scheme of seminal fluid. Yellow sperm is most often found in people who for a long time abstain from sexual intercourse. In addition, it still becomes thick. Therefore, if after oozing on the bedding or underwear there are yellowish spots, do not worry. This is a normal occurrence.
The reason for visiting a specialist should not be yellow sperm, but brown or red. The cause of this change in color can be bleeding, which in itself is a bell of ill health. Such a change in the color of the seminal fluid to an experienced specialist can say that the man had problems with the prostate gland.
But sometimes it happens that during ejaculation a blood vessel ruptures in the prostate. Then yellow sperm can acquire a brown or red color. The color of the seminal fluid is usually restored in one to two days. If this does not happen, you should consult a doctor. It is possible that the reason is not a rupture of the vessel, but much more serious. After all, the blood in the ejaculate may indicate the presence of infection or injury.
Although it also happens that yellow sperm begins to acquire a pinkish tint. This indicates that it has an increased content of red blood cells, that is, hemospermia develops. Sperm transparency indicates the absence of sperm. This symptom occurs with azoospermia. But neither pink nor transparent colors of the ejaculate are considered painful manifestations, this is normal and passes over time. Sometimes it’s enough just to change your diet so that the seminal fluid again becomes a natural color, that is, white with a slightly yellowish tint.
