Question:
Hi.
After masturbation the semen is not white; sometimes yellow, sometimes it comes as a dark yellow. What is the reason for this?
Answer:
Semen is normally off-white. It might get tinted yellow from urine, either leftover in the urethra or that escapes from the bladder during the excitement of ejaculating.
A dark yellow, gold, or even green color in semen indicates a possible infection in your prostate. It would be advisable to see a doctor concerning this.
Question:
Thank you. I’ll ask one more thing: Can this cause problems in the future? You said that in the excitement ejaculating some urine escapes. Is a problem?
Answer:
No. It is considered normal.
