What Causes Constant Clear White Semen Like Mucus In Throat?
Question: Can semen get stuck in the back of your throat? And if so how do you get rid off it I have been coughing up what looks and smells like seamen for some time now and it won't stop no matter how much I cough up it always comes back again although I don't intentialy swallow any I am a male and I am worried about my girlfriends loyalty as some times her breathe smells like penis I don't perform oral sex on her however because I don't have full trust in her, she has told me strongly that I am paranoid and that its a mental thing in my head. although when I kiss her I believe it's getting stuck in my throat constantly from the residue of her previous hidden sexual experience she had before she met me ect I am a smoker and know what mucus looks and tastes like and this is not the same it is sticky and clear and white and just looks like seamen not like regular saliva with bubbles ect and it is at times very sticky or/and stringy sometimes I wake up at night struggling to breathe for a few seconds and I struggle to sleep from the feeling of this stuff in my throat it's never ending I need to get help but I'm to scared of what people think about me I need to know if it's seamen I'm coughing up or just a strange semen twin form of mucus or saliva?, if I have proof I know I will be able to move on with my life and keep down a job ect I seriously need to know.
It never has any other colour just like how mucus can be yellow ect this substance that I'm coughing up is white/clear constantly and it is sticky and stringy tastes like seamen and smells like seamen and the taste creeps into my mouth some days it won't be there almost none then it could be there for 3 weeks straight it's really frustrating and embarrassing but if it isn't semen although I'm almost certain it is could you please help me identify the problem and also to resolve it thank you very much.

Brief Answer:
No chance of it being semen sir, this is mucus for sure
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. There is no way your partner can retain the semen in her oral cavity and transfer it to you, not only because it is not a feasible process but also because it cannot pass through to your oral cavity from hers undetected.
And even if it does, it will not be retained at the back of your throat. You are just being over-paranoid in my opinion. Stop worrying sir, and if you are feeling insecure about your relationship you need to sit down and have a detailed discussion with your partner, as I believe trust is the foundation of any relationship.
Mucus can present in different forms, and what I believe you are mistaking to be semen is in fact mucus itself and nothing else. The problem could be either a pre-existing chronic respiratory condition (e.g. bronchitis due to smoking), or a more recent infection requiring antibiotic coverage, or even an allergic reaction. Any of these conditions can also cause a weird taste and smell in your mouth/oral cavity, so I really doubt there is any chance of this being semen.
I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
