Hi doc, this is regarding discoloration of semen. I am 18. Not a virgin. Lost it in June?17. Ive always masturbated and come across acne on my head. Hence I take breaks in between. I recently hooked up (protected) and did not ejaculate. It?d been almost 1.5 months since I had last ejaculated when I masturbated yesterday and found out my semen to appear yellow in colour. This has never happened. Its always white! I m anxious. Do not know what to do about it. Also I personally wanted to ask if masturbation causes acne. Because thats the main reason why I stop masturbating for a long while in between. And if not then how often should I do it? Is the yellowing of the semen because of the sexual intercourse? It worries me a lot. I am taking a lot of stress.

Hello- Long-term abusive/over masturbation results in serious acne through a variety of pathological means, such as an imbalance of androgen hormones that results in over production of sebum by the sebaceous glands, a lack of the inhibition of acne bacteria growth, and abnormal keratinization and comedone formation. Delayed ejaculation (under masturbation) leads to mixing of urine with semen, thus causing it to appear yellowish. Masturbate once in a week regularly to avoid both these issues and reduce spices or spicy fast foods in your meals, your both problems will be solved.
