Yellow-tinted ejaculate since acute prostatitis?

Hi,

I was in the hospital about half a year ago with probably acute prostatitis (never got a definitive diagnosis) and ever since, my ejaculate has been yellow-tinted and more viscious than before. Instead of white liquid that shoots out it's this yellowish glop that "falls" more from my penis than it shoots.

Doctors have shrugged it off so far, first arguing that it's probably just a liquid imbalance due to the fever and antibiotics. A urologist bothered to check it and did find all sorts of things in there. Big concentration of bacteria among other things. So I got more antibiotics. Once that was done, he didn't bother to retest my ejaculate - which hasn't changed. He argued that my body probably still simply produces pus but that I'm not contagious that it's not threatening in any way and that I should just ejaculate as often as possible to expel the pus and at some point, it should go away.

Well... that was two months ago and it still hasn't. So, having lost my faith in the first urologist, I went to another one and asked for a check to see whether the antibiotics helped. Still bacteria in the ejaculate but according to him, "a normal amount". He can't explain why it has changed but ... again ... "you're not contagious, it's nothing to worry about."

I may not be contagious but aside from the whole "But where does it come from and why is my body still producing this pus or whatever?!", it looks f-ing disgusting and I can't even consider having sex ever again as long as my ejaculate looks this way!

Does anybody here have experience with that and knows what on earth is going on?!

    For what it's worth, When I had my PAE in November, I had a small amount of blood in the semen and it showed up yellowish for about two weeks until it cleared.

      Hm... thanks for the reassurance that it does happen to other people too but... it's been about 5 months for me now... so I doubt that it'll go away by itself. rolleyes

      Didn't mean to roll my eyes at you. Seems the people who assigned the emoticon codes here aren't aware of what they actually mean. This is roughly what I wanted to post: sad

    Hi, what you described here is exactly what happened to me about 5-8 years ago, yellowish ejeculation!

    At the time I had been on antidepressants and had lost all urge to have sex and had not ejeculated for months, so I just put it down to a sort of stale ejeculate.

    Also I had been suffering from an enlarged prostate for many years 

    .

    After going off the pills, my sex drive returned and I was 'back in business' and eventually the ejeculate returned to normal colour. Since then I've had a TURP done and now nothing comes out so I really dont know what colour it is now.

    The bottom line is, I'm really not sure why I had the discolour,  but.... it did return to normal.
