Many male friends have questions about the color of semen. My semen is light yellow. Is it abnormal? Let's learn together.
How does the color of semen come from?
First, understand the composition of semen, which is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. Sperm volume only accounts for a small part, and more than 90% is seminal plasma. The seminal plasma is secreted by accessory gonads such as prostate, seminal vesicle, bulbous urethral gland, paraurethral gland, etc. The main components are water, fat, protein particles, pigment particles, lecithin bodies, enzymes, fructose, etc. Secondly, the color of semen is determined by the composition of semen. The semen of ordinary people is gray or slightly earthy yellow. It is normal for the semen to turn yellow due to long abstinence time, changes in physical and chemical properties. Therefore, when the color of semen turns yellow, the problem of whether the abstinence time is too long can be ruled out. If there is a problem, further examination should be made to determine the cause and immediate treatment should be given.
Semen color reflects health status
Normal semen is milky white or light yellow. The light yellow color may be due to the lack of ejaculation for a long time, so the color changes slightly and is sticky, which is a normal phenomenon. Don't worry. However, if the male genital tract is inflamed, the semen will also be yellow, and a large number of pus balls can be seen under the microscope, which may be caused by the suppurative infection of the prostate and seminal vesicle.
What is the abnormal color of semen?
If the semen is red or light red, sometimes it will appear brownish red or maroon, and a large number of red cells can be seen under the microscope, usually called blood sperm. Moreover, some men found that the semen turned pink or mixed with blood after a certain ejaculation. Most of these symptoms are caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis. This symptom is not difficult to treat and need not cause panic. The patient must go to a regular hospital for examination. After finding the cause and curing, the color of semen will return to normal. Even, in some cases, it can be cured without treatment at all. For example, when couples live apart, they haven't enjoyed the pleasure of sex for a long time. When they get together, they "overeat", which makes the ever-increasing secretion stored in the seminal vesicle empty, reduces the pressure of the seminal vesicle to the minimum, and makes the capillary rupture and bleeding, and other situations, which will heal themselves after a little rest, and need not worry.
