A member asked:

What does it mean when i ejaculate and its it's not the normal color.it's yellowish in color and hurts inside s little bit.?

Possible infection: Semen should be somewhat clearish white. If it has a yellowish or greenish tinge to it then an infection should be suspected. Be seen by your doctor to rule out prostatitis or epididymitis.
