I've been vegetarian for 5 years and I get the chunks sometimes in mine. It's usually when I haven't ejaculated in a few days or so.
I do as well
Hi guys, I think I have the same problem as well. But as far as I could remember, my sperm is yellow. It's thick and jelly like, occasionally though, there are bits of globules... I used the term "sperm" intead of "semen." My ejaculation tends to be clearly defined, shooting all the pre-cum at first which is watery and white and the last part was dribbling the yellow sperm. I guess the problem with us was that all the liquids are not mixed together. Everything seems so separated, can that be a reason why the yellow sperm is more dominant in terms of colour. If it's mixed, it might looked white? Have you guys notice this?
I have looked for a doctor. And yeah, it was damn embarrassing. You guys should write questions for doctor instead of personally speaking it. Anyway, I just took a round of antibiotic for any urinary tract infections and for gonorrhea (i don't think I have STIs, but I just took it). I don't think it works, my sperm was still yellow (*half course to finishing my antibiotics).
If antibiotics doesn't work, i might have to do sperm culture (examining semen for infection) and it cost 40 bucks. Kinda expensive.
Things I have try:
1) Drink more water - doesn't work.
2) Not to ejaculate - the colour gets worst.
3) Urinate before masturbation - will never work.
4) Ejaculate once a day - colour gets better, but still yellow. I have got a time when my third times was white. And then I stopped, the yellow returns.
5) Masturbate longer (more than 1 hour or so) - more watery and less jelly. can't remember this, that was long time ago.
6) Masturbate in standing or lying position - doesn't matter, still yellow.
I guess it's probably just a variation of normal? I am getting it checked up by next week, and the report will come in by another week time. Wish me luck.
PS: The doctor (female) asked me how I know I have got a yellow semen. That was hell of a stupid question. Masturbation of course. But you can't just say it. LOL, I just said "I just knew I have it." What an old school doctor.
Here is what I have.... same general issue as many of you. I notice the tapioca like pieces in my semen. I have been taking Propecia for over ten years now (hair still holding on great!) but if I stop taking Propecia for a time, tapioca goes away. When I start taking it again, tapioca comes back. I have to say that it sems to bring a bit more pleasure to an orgasm... someone else mentioned it felt like a logjam busting through... in a good way for me. I have looked at various message boards over the years and seen other guys concerned. I don't know if this is the concern of others but I have had three great kids while taking it and my wife got pregnant very quickly each time. Good luck to all. For me it has got to be related to Propecia in some way.
i have this problem to fellas, the only difference is ive completely changed my diet several times and use a personal trainer daily so i can tell you im as healthy as ive ever been. from my experience more fruit, nuts, and veggies in a diet makes them less noticeable. i quit eating bread, milk products, and pasta as well. i ve had them for at least 3 years now and after many other forum site researches this is the best site ive found where other guys talk about it as well. basically i think it just happens, if there is something wrong the only positive answer is to get a fertility test which i plan to in the near future and will comment later on it. things that agitate it the worst for me is poor diet, lack of water, and minimal sexual activity. i work sometimes a month away from home at a time, and without my girlfriend i need to masturbate minimum 2-3 times a day as i have an extremely healthy sexual appetite...and that seems to help considerably. they seem to go from actual chunks down to just small stinger type chunks barely noticeable. the occasional use of steroids does not help either, to anyone who may experiment with them, it definitely makes it worse.
Been happening to me for approx 11 years. Began almost immediately after having a vasectomy - in fact I think the first time I "tested" things out after the procedure things backed up and I didn't have a full ejaculation. The next one there was an obvious blockage but things flushed out (and saw the gummy worm described by others). Ever since that time there will be the occasional regular ejaculation but with most I can feel things clogging a bit and not everything gets out. Then usually the next one there is the feeling of extra pressure and a delay, and then the yellowish clogs shoot out (sometimes a long yellow gummy worm). There have been a few instances when I may have a few ejaculations with almost nothing coming out because I can feel something blocking the semen and it can't make it past. As long as there are a few days in between though it seems that there is enough fluid to lube things up and get the blockage out (this probably makes sense to those who are in the same boat).
I know that I don't drink enough water and am usually a bit dehydrated and I always just assumed this was the cause. The weird thing that I always think about though is that this never happened before my vasectomy and started almost right after...
Hey, I have had the same thing for years now. Always been curious and finally found info, on this forum, about it. I feel a lot better after reading that it is so common, but after I had two (2) perfectly healthy and completely normal kids, I def. didn't worry about it. I DO eat meat every day and I DO occasionally drink too little water...hmmm. I get the chunks and I orgasm everyday...It is weird, but rest assured, this does NOT AFFECT FERTILITY.
hope this helps ease any questions!
Hey all, I too have had this going on for years (maybe 7-8). Im 34 years old and i have 2 kids 3 and 6. We had no problem what-so-ever getting pregnant so i dont think it affects ferility. I am not a doctor and i have no idea if it does or not but we got pregnant 2 months after trying the first time and 1 month the second lol. I too eat alot of meat so maybe it is that. It kinda comes and goes for me somedays i have it and some I dont.
Hey all. I also experience the same issue with chunks in my semen. My g/f was the first to point it out to me and that was very embarrasing. However, i can say that the concentration of the chunks decrease greatly the more often i orgasm. Feeling alot more reassured after reading so many of your posts. I'm an avid cyclist and have put it down to the amount of time spent on the bike and possibly overheating during training. My GP didn't seem to care when i mentioned it to him.
Hope this helps
1)It's a build up of protein in the seminal vesicles. The more infrequent ejaculations, more likely the protein will build up.
2)Takes longer to liquify. Easily over a half hour.
3)The chunky semen could possibly be a symptom of a hormone imbalance.
4)Possibility of an enzyme in prostatic fluid that mixes with seminal fluid is reacting differently. However I thought I read somewhere that the protein chunks are created by a 'sticky' seminal vesicle enzyme.
5)Sometimes it looks like all the 'ingredients' of the ejaculate are separated and not 'mixed' well.
6)Chunks apparently don't affect fertility.
7)Not a STD.
8)Looks unhealthy.
9)Hydration or dehydration has NOTHING to do with chunky semen.
