No: Can see your doctor and/or have a sperm count and viability test if you are concerned. Hope all is well with you.

Not directly: Normal semen is whitish to whitish-grey color. As men age semen may take on a yellowish tinge. Most changes in semen color and consistency are temporary and usually return to normal in 2-3 weeks. Yellow semen can be caused by: not having ejaculated in a long time, diet high in sulfur, urine in semen,prostate or STD infection(semen often will have a foul odor)SEE>.. http://bit.ly/1DnbiiX
