Is Change In Semen Color Related To Diet?

I'm a 20-year-old man from Thailand. I'm 85 kgs in weight and 195 cms tall.I'm very stressed because my semen has turned yellow since a week ago. I doubt whether this problem is related to my diet and exercise or not. I'm on a diet now so I eat a lot of vegetable, mainly cabbage and legume, and I go to fitness 5 days a week. My daily medicine are Orfarin ( 5mg.) and Atenolol (50 mg.). Please help me understand why it occurs and how I can solve it. Thank you very much.

Yellow semen completely not a pathological condition but if your semen in deep yellow with foul smelling represent infection.

Yellow color due to neutrophils in the semen.

Causes of yellow semen
Urine in the semen: Semen travels through the same tube of urine travel it may give yellow tinge.

Jaundice:Jaundice most commonly causes yellowing of the eyes but can cause the skin and the semen to appear yellow too.

Abnormally high white blood cells: Inflammation can produce excess white blood cells. These can be released via the semen, a condition known as pyospermia or leukocytospermia.

STIs: A sexually transmitted infection, such as chlamydia, herpes, or gonorrhea may cause yellow semen. In this condition semen have unpleasant smell also.

Dietary changes: Eating foods that contain dyes can cause yellow semen.

Some foods such as garlic, onions, asparagus, or broccoli gives smell to semen.

Infrequent ejaculation: If a man has not ejaculated in some time; the semen is more likely to have mixed with urine.

Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
