Yellowish chunks in semen when I ejaculate?
I’m not sexually active or anything, but when I masturbate, sometimes there are yellowish chunks that come out when I ejaculate. These tend to have a stronger smell than semen usually does- does anyone know what this is? Should I see a doctor? I’m a 17 year old guy if that helps

I'm no medical expert but from what I've heard from several of my male friends that "chunks" typically mean you're dehydrated and need to drink more fluids (water). As far as the yellow, I would assume (like I said, I'm no medical expert) that it's an infection. Does it burn when you ejaculate? Have you recently slept with a partner that may have something? I would suggest getting that checked out by a doctor and get a proper diagnosis for this. Good luck!

Im female so I don't have answers for that as my husband has not experienced that, but other issues due to getting older. If you have no pain its likely not serious but may still require a Dr. to check this out for you. Any irregularities in our blood when taken, can show others more serious things that need treatment but there is no pain, or no pain yet at this point. I would think examining a semen sample might help the same way. Your primary Dr. can refer you to a Urologist which is the kind of Dr. my husband has seen for his issues. A urologist can take worry off your mind if its nothing. Or recommend something to treat it if its a thing that needs treating.

Here's an article from a respected medical journal on everything you could ever want to know about semen and what is healthy and not about it. Some people have thicker than others or what you described. There are reasons most of which not to worry about.
It can also be according to the article dehydration, not ejaculating with frequency etc. They also mention infection. The color, amount and consistency of it varies. Unless there is painor you are urinating too frequently there's not much else to worry about covered in the article. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
As far as smell goes unless it's really awful likely it's fine. Semen does have a smell and it's usually a pleasant and sweeter smell than something that is not.
If you are concerned it's perfectly okay to mention it to your doctor that you don't understand what's happening and or don't feel good about an odor. They'll give you info.
There does seem to be a link though with consistency per the article with it being thicker or not based on frequency of releasing it through sexual activity or masturbation. It's no big deal and can and does look different. I think you're fine but haven't really noticed this before now.
Not to be crude or gross but in my own experiences I have noticed the differences over time and it's been no medical issue. It's common that it changes in consistency and the amount and should not cause concern or any worries about sex or pregnancy with a partner.
