Discoloration and liquid in sperm caused by stress or medica Posted: 06-21-07 06:46am
Lately, I noticed my sperm is yellow, and
liquidish. and the amount ejected is quite
small. The weird part is I haven't been
active for quite some time. what do think
is the cause of this.
P.S.: I am under a lot of stress lately.
work and college and barely have enough
time to take a break. I don't know if this
is relevant.

The amount of sperm present during one
ejaculation after 5 days of abstinence
should be between 2 and 6 ml. Sperm change
can be due to the anti acne-medication you
have been taking (Roaccutane). Roaccutane
is a highly teratogenic medicine that
kills the cells used during
spermatogenesis, the creation of sperm.
Stress can also contribute to the
condition. Yellow sperm could indicate an
infection but that can be proven only with
sperm analyses (spermogram). You may wait
to request such an examination from a
urologist until you finish taking the
Roaccutane.
