Changes in semen appearance

Lawrence Miller6 said:Just wanted to chime in and say this happened to me about four or five years back too, though I actually had a bit of blood in my semen. I never ended up seeing a doctor because, honestly, I was embarrassed... yeah, I know, huge mistake on my part.
Eventually, everything cleared up, and in the meantime, I got married and we have a beautiful, healthy little girl who’s two now. But lately—over the last few months—I’ve noticed my semen seems kind of watery. I probably wouldn't be sweating it if my wife and I weren't actively trying to conceive again, but we haven't had any luck lately.
Did I permanently wreck my plumbing, or is there still something a urologist can do to fix things?

You guys are honestly impossible; most women go in for an exam at least once a year, yet you men find it mortifying to visit a doctor even once in your entire lives. A few months isn't really that long of a window, so it might not be anything catastrophic that she hasn't conceived yet. Honestly, you both might just be stressed out. But seriously, guys, take care of yourselves and look out for us women, because sometimes terrible things happen to us while you all insist you're perfectly fine. Some things don't just happen by accident.😠

I’m heading out this Monday to pick up my test results

Hopefully, I can get everything sorted out pretty quickly.

So I headed over today to pick up my test results... I gave them my name and everything, but they couldn't find a single trace of any female records in the system. It was just weird.
They haven't arrived yet. And they totally promised me they’d be ready even before Monday. Honestly, some of these doctors at the local clinic are just so disorganized.
I mean, if they don't show up tomorrow... there's gonna be hell to pay.🤣

Just got my test results back... NEGATIVE

I guess... how is that even possible?

Are you seeing the exact same symptoms on your end?

Well, congratulations. It’s because everything is perfectly fine. Honestly, your semen probably doesn't have that specific smell you're worried about—it just smells like nothing. Like I told you before, this is totally normal.

Besides, both semen and urine can smell like whatever you want depending on what you've been eating. Beer, for example. I'm pretty sure I'll be peeing through a stuffed nose for the next two days after the amount I've had.

I think I’m gonna head over to the urologist too. I actually went ahead and picked up my referral this morning.

Even if it isn't because of that smell, there are these little brown spots on the skin near the tip of my penis.
I've had them for about four years now, but they seem to be spreading more and more as time goes by.
Back when it started four years ago, there were just two, but now I'm looking at ten.

My doctor claims it's just pigmentation. I don't even know how to explain that to my girlfriend, so I'll probably just shoot her a DM.

Honestly, I'm pretty skeptical about her diagnosis.
Hopefully, the urologist will have a bit more sense.

I’ve noticed over the last year that my semen has been looking yellowish. It might not be the very first burst, but the ones following that are definitely discolored. Is this actually normal? Should I be worried? I don't have any issues with my reproductive or urinary tract—nothing like an enlarged prostate or painful urination. Looking for a professional opinion here.

I’m a little confused here... I’ve been reading all over different forums about fertility, and I have a specific concern. A lot of people say sperm can range from white to yellowish. Well, I’m 15, and whenever I masturbate, the fluid comes out looking really thick and slimy like sperm, but it’s completely clear. Just totally transparent. When it's actually "in flight," it looks white, but as soon as it hits my skin, it turns clear. If I put it in water, you can see it starts out white and then just kind of dissolves. Is my ejaculate normal and capable of fertilizing, or am I looking at some kind of health issue? Also, it's important to mention that I've dealt with incontinence since birth—basically, I can't hold my urine and have to wear diapers. At birth, the doctors told me I was fertile.

I’ve started this thread on this forum a few times now, but I still haven't gotten a straight answer. Back in 1996, I was born with a small cyst on my back called a meningocele. It was successfully removed, but I also had foot surgery afterward that was... okay, I guess? The only lasting side effect from that was a slight limp. However, because of the surgery on my back, one of the sphincters that controls my bladder and bowel function was weakened. Because of that, I've been wearing SimBex diapers since the day I was born. I'm 15 years old now, and I've developed normally both physically and mentally. Regarding my sexual development, everything seems fine—my penis is about 5.5 inches long with a 4-inch girth, and I’m able to have erections, orgasms, and ejaculate just like anyone else. I'm currently a sophomore in high school. Now, I wanted to ask: is it normal that I masturbate and ejaculate every single day? There's also one thing that's really worrying me, which is why I'm even posting this: when I masturbate and ejaculate daily, urine comes out instead of seminal fluid. But if I wait five days without doing anything, I can see a little bit of white fluid mixing in with the clear liquid. Given that I deal with incontinence, is this normal? And am I going to be able to have kids someday?

If anyone knows the answer, please help me out. I would be eternally grateful!!!

Hi,

It happens that I don't "play with myself" for about a week at a time. But when I finally do after a week of abstinence, the consistency is incredibly dense—thick, yellowish, and almost like it's formed into little pellets.
Passing it is also a bit more difficult—I can actually feel it "sticking" in the urethra... 🤷
I know this might sound ridiculous, but I really need to know: is this something serious, or is it totally normal?

PS: When I was a kid, I had undescended testicles that were pulled into the abdominal cavity—which, of course, required surgery. I have a girlfriend and sex is perfectly normal and everything... everything works fine. So, the issue only arises when I am "forced" to take a break from my regular routine. 🙂

PPS Looking for some serious answers here. 🙂

Thanks!
