Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 41-year-old male, weighing approximately 150 pounds, with a height of six feet. I have observed a recent change in the color of my ejaculated semen, which has shifted from white to yellowish in hue. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Changes in semen color are usually subjective and can naturally vary over time. However, it might also result from conditions like liver dysfunction, possibly linked to alcohol-related or viral hepatitis. Another cause could be excessive intake of carotene or vitamin supplements. If none of these factors apply to you, I suggest you undergo semen analysis, serum testosterone, and liver function tests at a nearby medical laboratory. After obtaining the results, please feel free to reach out to me for further guidance. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
