What Causes Yellow Semen?
Question: I am experiencing a yellow color in my semen. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
?? Could be either a prostate infection or normal presentation
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The semen can normally be mildly yellowish or off whitish at times and this is normal, but if the yellowness of the semen is quite obvious and the colour of the semen is quite obviously different from usual, then this could be indicative of a possible prostate infection (prostatitis).
If you have other symptoms like a burning sensation while urinating, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, etc. (not all symptoms need to be present), then it would be best to visit a doctor and start a course of antibiotics.
I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
