What Causes The Semen To Be Orange In Color?
My boyfriend told me that he masturbated this morning and the color of the ejaculate was an orangish-red. It was also more watery than usual. He is 39, suffers from E.D. frequently. He has an over-active thyroid and drinks about 4 beers a day. Otherwise he is healthy. Should he be concerned?

Hi,
For one single episode of abnormal colored semen, he may need not to worry. But if such repeated abnormal red colored semen ejaculation persist than it is hematospermia. Seminal vesicle inflammation or prostate inflammation might be the cause for that. I suggest you investigate with USG pelvis with special emphasis on genitals and accessory sex organs. Semen culture also should be done. Kindly revert with reports once done.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
