I am a 70 year old male. I have noticed
lately that my sperm color is yellowish in
color. I have not seen a doctor as yet.
Is this something I should be concerned
about?

Hello my friend,
someone else had this very same question
around the same time as you. I will copy
the same response here for you:
not many people will be able to answer
this. This can be any number of things,
without more symptoms it will be difficult
for me to narrow it down, but hopefully
this helps:
- your semen (which you ejaculate) is a
combination of two things. Seminal
fluid... (clear/white liquid), and sperm
(the little guys that swim around...
These guys are actually yellow.) .. Some
men encouter times when they have yellow
clumps in their semen.. (after not
ejaculating for a while).. This is the
little spermies. It can have a gel-like
texture.
If you're having a yellow pigmentation to
your whole ejaculant. This is usually
caused by excess riboflavin in your
body... (aka vitamin b2).
If you are experiencing both yellow semen
and painful ejaculation then you likely
have chlamydia. This will cause
inflammation of your urinary pipe and from
the tube connecting your testicles to your
prostate gland---in some men resulting in
yellow semen. (apparently gonorrhea can
cause this too, but I have never read the
medical journals to back this claim up.)
