What is the reason for the yellowing of semen? Is semen yellow and sick? This is a question that many netizens often ask. More and more male friends are paying attention to their health, which is a good thing.
Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma, with sperm accounting for 10% and the rest being seminal plasma. In addition to water, fructose, protein, and fat, it also contains a variety of enzymes and inorganic salts. Under normal circumstances, semen will appear milky white or yellowish green, and yellowing of semen may be due to both physiological and pathological reasons.
Yellow semen or prostatitis
There are two factors that affect semen yellowing: physiological and pathological. Physiological semen yellowing is caused by a prolonged absence of sexual activity, and this phenomenon is only temporary. The etiological yellowing of semen may be related to prostatitis.
Prostatitis can cause yellowing of semen. Why is this? Within ten minutes after semen is discharged from the male body, an enzyme secreted by the prostate gland liquefies the semen, leaving it in a liquid state. "If prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis occur, they may be lacking or their activity may be reduced, resulting in semen crystallization.". This is a pathological phenomenon, and because semen cannot liquefy, sperm cannot move, which has a significant impact on male fertility. Therefore, yellowing of semen may be a symptom of non liquefaction of semen caused by prostatitis.
Prostatitis is so harmful that how should it be treated?
The core of treating prostatitis is symptomatic comprehensive treatment, so we need to use 3A comprehensive treatment, including anti-inflammatory drugs, a-receptor blockers, antioxidant stress agents, and other therapeutic drugs. Selecting sensitive antibiotics may be a necessary means, especially for topical use, but antibiotics alone cannot achieve satisfactory results, especially for chronic recurrent episodes, even for bacterial infections that are certain to have infection factors.
