But one may see purulent discharge or yellowish ejaculate in this circumstance. This is uncommon occurring in about 5% of the prostatitis cases. It’s more likely for patients with chronic prostatitis to have this symptom.  

Second, prostatic fluid is an ingredient of the semen. So once the prostate is inflamed, the prostatic fluid may be affected as well. Thus, the prostate fluid would be changed. Once being damaged, the semen will become yellow.  

Third, the inflammation can spread to the adjacent organs through the prostate. When people suffer from prostatitis, the inflammation may be easy to be spread to other organs like seminal vesicle. In clinic, the seminal vesicles are sac-like pouches that attach to the vas deferens near the base of the bladder.

It produces a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy to help them move. So when this organ is infected, the sperm will lose lots of energy to move, which can lead to the death of many sperm. For this reason, the semen will become yellow over time.

In conclusion, the yellow semen is likely to be caused by prostatitis. When having this symptom, patients don’t need to worry it too much as this disease is curable.
