Male semen abnormalities include a milky white or yellowish green color, prolonged yellowing of semen, which may be a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. Actually, semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. Sperm count only accounts for a very small portion, with over 90% being seminal plasma.
Why do sperm turn yellow?
1. Excessive abstinence time
Men have not had sexual activity for a long time, have not ejaculated, have slightly higher semen concentration, and their semen color also turns yellow. There is no need to worry at all. Restoring normal sexual activity and the color of semen will naturally return to normal milky white.
2. Reproductive infection
When men experience prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis, their sperm turns yellow. When the prostate and seminal vesicles become inflamed, bacteria stimulate the semen in the semen, resulting in a decrease in semen quality and yellowing of sperm. Immediate medical attention is needed.
3. High sperm deformity rate
Don't be intimidated by deformities. Basically, every time a man ejaculates, there are always developmental deformities in the tens of thousands of sperm. As long as the proportion is not high, they will not affect normal pregnancy. Generally speaking, if the abnormal sperm in semen exceeds 20%, the color of the semen will turn yellow. At this point, it is necessary to immediately check the sperm abnormality rate and provide targeted treatment.
4. Sperm coagulation syndrome
What is sperm aggregation? Sperm antibodies exist, the sperm itself condenses, and the seminal vesicles do not liquefy. This can also lead to yellowing of sperm.
How to prevent yellowing of semen?
1. During the acute phase, semen examination and prostate and seminal vesicle massage are prohibited.
2. Abstinence. Avoid sexual impulses, temporarily interrupt sexual activity, and especially avoid unclean sexual intercourse.
3. Pay attention to genital hygiene, and those with excessive foreskin should undergo circumcision.
4. During the chronic period, hot water sitz baths (not suitable for those who have not given birth) or traditional Chinese medicine sitz baths can be used.
5. Eat a light diet and avoid products that are spicy and stimulating with alcohol and tobacco.
6. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid prolonged sitting, prohibit cycling, and reduce perineal pressure
What to do if semen turns yellow?
1. Eat more calcium rich foods: milk, sweet almonds, scallops, Nirvana fish, coriander, shiitake mushrooms, mustard, bone soup, soy products, raisins, seaweed, shrimp skin, kelp, goldenrod, etc.
2. Supplementing fructose: Sperm activity is related to the amount of fructose contained in the seminal vesicles, such as low fructose content in semen, which can easily lead to azoospermia. Fructose is particularly abundant in honey and various fruits, such as pears, apples, grapes, pineapples, and sweet oranges.
