Hey doctor,
My ejaculated or masturbated sperm is

Sperm should be thick and white after
ejaculation. A few minutes after
ejaculation, the sperm becomes a thicker,
turbid-white. This decrease of the sperm's
density is called liquefaction. Yellow
sperm may suggest a genital infection. You
can visit an urologist for an examination
and to provide a sperm sample for
diagnosis.
