    Yellow semen may be caused by normal physiological phenomena, seminal vesiculitis, or prostatitis.

    1. Physiological phenomena

    If you do not have sex for a long time, the color of your semen may change. Generally, no treatment is required.

    2. Seminal vesiculitis

    After the seminal vesicles are infected by bacteria, it may cause inflammation of the seminal vesicles and may also cause the sperm to turn yellow. It can be treated with oral administration of cefixime dispersible tablets, amoxicillin capsules, erythromycin capsules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Prostatitis

    Prostatitis may also cause poor sperm quality and changes in semen, as well as lower abdominal pain. It can be treated with oral medications such as metronidazole tablets, tinidazole tablets, and cefuroxime axetil tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the above reasons, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by diseases such as orchitis.
