I am a 21 year old male of fairly good health. For a long time my semen has been yellow. I would say quite predominantly yellow, more so than white. I have been checked for std's since previous relations and I am all clear. I stay very hydrated during the day and avoid tea/coffee. I enjoy the ocassional drink, but only ocassional. I have attached a photo, is this normal? Is there anything else that this could be, i.e. non-sexual related infection? Should I get this checked out or is it nothing to worry about?
I think you should see a doctor for this, Usually when this happens infrequently, it is due to your diet, multivitamins and if you haven't ejaculated for a long time. In your case, this happens predominatedly
It's nothing to worry about at all. My semen was only purely white in my teenage years, but when I married and had children it was always a greyish colour - and still is. The only time a male should be concerned is if his semen has signs of blood in it. That DOES require a GP appointment.
Not an expert on semen but I would suggest that just like when your phlegm is yellow, it is likely you have an infection. A visit to Urology should be arranged by your doctor.
Hi John. Did you get an answer to your problem? I've been having yellow sperm for last two months as well. Would like to know whether you recovered from it. Thanks
Looks similar to mine John, mine's been that colour since I was a teen and still is at 50. I worried mine was abnormal but after seeing the doc was told it was absolutely normal. Just like other things, no two men make exactly the same sperm.
I was worried about this myself as I was going through this. My uro told me that it's normal because sperm naturally has a yellow colour. Apparently the liquid from prostate gives the whitish hue. Also, I was having this for almost eight months or so. It has cleared out now. So anyone reading this and who is facing this problem, this could be a momentary thing. And like James said even if it doesn't go away, it's most likely benign.
I've never had unprotected sex, so therefore I dont have any STD or have any health issue at the moment. I'm completely fine. As a matter of fact, I've not gone to the hospital for like 4years now but it baffles me that...I mean each time I ejaculate, the semen appears yellowish. I'm really scared
I think a part of it is due to your diet. Also try having more water. I have noticed that if I ejaculate around the morning, my semen is slightly yellower than when I ejaculate around evening or night.
This is due to prostate infection. I had the same issue and when I consulted a urologist he said to go through a semen culture test. I was tested positive with Klebsiella species in my semen. Doctor prescribed antibiotics and my semen is clear now.
Hopefully my posting 19 months ago had helped put a few guys minds at rest. I worried for years about the colour of my semen, had a test and was told that my semen was completely normal and not to fret over it. That was nearly thirty years ago and mine is still yellowish when I ejaculate. I would post a picture if it helped one more person not worry about there own, but honestly, not all ejaculations are pure white!
Hello James, thanks for this update. Mine used to be white though, as per three years ago.
But I just noticed the colour change recently , I went to the lab for a test but I failed to capture the first shot, so I will go do it again in 7 days.
Hopefully it should be nothing at all and the lab will put your mind at rest like they did mine. But looking at your sample there it honestly looks completely normal to me. If I had a vial i’d take a screenshot of mine so you can see yours is the same as a lot of us!
Hey John. Have you tried prostate massage? I have self diagnosed acute on chronic prostate inflammation. I tried prostate massage and it has gotten better. My ejaculate looked like yours and now only has a very slight yellow hue (and it has helped with my urine flow).
I read somewhere to do it 3x/wk for the first 2 wks and taper down, but I just did it 5 days in a row for about 2-5 mins for the first week and saw a vast improvement. I then tapered down to every other day for 2 wks and it was white like when I was in my teens. Now I just do it every other day 3x/wk for a wk and Im good for about 2 wks to 2 months.
I thought about going to a pelvic floor physical therapist, but it’s easier and less embarrassing to do it myself. I used to use my finger, but it makes my wrist hurt so I broke down and got a prostate massager. it was still uncomfortable for my wrist so I bought a vibrating prostate massager. The prostate is easiest to find when aroused. Tensing the penis makes it pleasurable instead of uncomfortable. I don’t get too aggressive cuz it can make the prostate irritated.
Always consult with your physician first, be safe, and I hope my experience is useful information.
it appears yellow due to urine being left in the urethra it dosnt empty all the urine when urinating and come out with the seamen and gives it a yellow tinge
urine gets left in the urethra after weeing and mixes with seamen which gives it a yellow tinge this is normal as not all urine is released when weeing
