Q: Semen Colour Changed But No Other Problems?
asked by: Adam981 on July 30th, 2005

Hi, i'm really not sure whether this is a problem or not but my semen has turned inot a darkish yellow colour. The reason I don't know whether to be worried or not is that I have no other problems, no pain, my semen still smells the same and has the same consistency. It would seem that everything is fine, however my cum is usually whitish with perhaps a tiny hint of yellow but mostly white. However over the last three or so days it has become a dark yellow. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what they did about it and if anyone has any useful information? Thanks in advance.

Any yellow semen is the result of there being urine in the sperm ducts, and therefore that gets mixed with the semen turning it a slightly yellow colour. As a result, dark yellow semen is the result of dark yellow urine, and thus you need to combat that problem. Yellow urine usually means you're dehydrated, or that you have a minor infection. In both cases, keeping up your fluids is a must, so that's the only real course of action i'd suggest to take. If it carries on for a long period of time you could see your doctor, but short term it's really nothing to worry about.

Actually I would have said the same thing about the urine being mixed with it.

But... Isnt the 2 nevr suppose to be together??

Flap door??

Could his penis have a film in the tube from the urine that inturn would cause the yellow?? And if they are mixed doesn't he have to go to the dr straight away??

Fatfamily02, the body does have a sort of flap door to prevent urine leaking during ejaculation, but that can't get rid of urine that has already passed through that area. Urine can always be in the urethra, way past the bladder. In which case, staylor's diagnosis of infection is only another possibility and not a certainty by any means. I'd still go with dehydration or minor non-sexual infection for the time being. Obviously if it continues for more than a week or so, then see what your doctor says and get a urine sample taken, etc.

ALCHOHOL AND THE BRAIN
IN MY EARLY YOUTH, I ABUSED ALCHOHOL AND USE TO DRINK SPIRITS. AFTER COMING TO MY SENSES I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND NOW I DONT FEEL WEIRED WITHOUT A BEER YET IT HAD GOT TO THAT STAGE AT SOME POINT.
I AM NOW BECOMING CONCERN ABOUT MY BRAIN, IF ALCHOHOL DAMAGED THE BRAIN, COULD IT BE A PERMANET PROBLEM? I HAVE SPENT 3 MONTHS WITHOUT DRINKING AND I INTEND TO STOP BUT I AT TIMES FORGET THINGS EASLY AND THAT KEEPS ME WONDERING IF ITS THE ALCHOHOL ABUSE.
LASTLY WE HAVE TRIEE FOR A BABY BUT IN VAIN FOR OVER A YEARS BUT IN VAIN. COULD THAT BE AN ALCHOHOL RELATED ISSUE.
I HAD A SPERM TEST TWICE AND FOR BEFORE STOPPING MY DRINKING HABBITS AND THE DOCTOR SAID THAT MY SPERM COUNT WAS LOW AND THE SPERMS WERE NOT MOBILE ENOUGH, IF THIS WAS DUE TO ALCHOHOL, NOW THAT AM GIVING UP I DONT KNOW IF I WILL GET BACK TO NOMAL.
I NEEE ADVICE PLEASE
THANKS

Proper Information
depending on many factors including frequency of ejaculation, diet, general health, etc., the volume, consistency and color of the semen can vary. A yellow cast to the semen, as you have noted, is very common and a variation of normal. If you take multivitamins, this may be a cause. Although there is no need to be medically concerned, stopping the vitamin supplement may help. Thickened semen usually occurs if one ejaculates infrequently and is due to concentration of that portion formed in the seminal vesicles. Occasional clear semen is not a specific sign of disease. A brown or red tint to the semen is a sign of bleeding, usually from the prostate gland. Although prostate bleeding is generally of a benign nature, it is best to have this evaluated by a urologist
