What is the normal color of a man's semen?

The color of a man's semen can also predict disease, and normal semen color indicates that the body is also normal. If the semen color is abnormal, we should also consider whether it is related to disease. Yellow or bloody semen should be taken seriously. So what is the normal color of semen?

1. Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. Sperm only accounts for a very small part, more than 90% is seminal plasma. Seminal plasma is secreted by accessory glands such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and paraurethral glands. Its main component is water, as well as fat, protein particles, pigment particles, lecithin bodies, enzymes, fructose and other ingredients.

2. The color of semen is determined by the components of semen. The semen of a normal person is grayish white or slightly yellowish. If the abstinence period is long, the color will become yellower due to changes in physical and chemical properties. This is all normal. Abnormal semen includes: semen that is milky white or slightly yellow-green, indicating inflammation in the reproductive tract, most likely a purulent infection of the prostate and seminal vesicles. The semen is red, indicating that it contains red blood cells, which is commonly known as "hematospermia". Most hematospermia is caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis. This type of hematospermia caused by inflammation is mostly light red. If small blood vessels rupture due to vascular malformation, the hematospermia will be bright red and contain blood clots.

3. The color of semen ranges from grayish white, milky white, light yellow to yellow, which is clinically normal. There are certain individual differences. In addition, it is also related to the time of male ejaculation. That is to say, the longer the time interval between two ejaculations, the darker the color of the semen. For example, if you ejaculate once every one or two days, the semen may be milky white or grayish white. If it is two weeks, it may be light yellow.
