# Red or Brown Colored Semen
If your semen is stained with a red or brown colored fluid it may
be caused by blood. Sometimes a small blood vessel may burst when
you ejaculate. Within a day or two the semen should return to its
normal state, so there should be no need to worry. If it continues
then you should see your doctor. Blood in semen may be present for
many different reasons, such as infection, trauma and sometimes,
but rarely, cancer.
# Yellowish or Green Colored Semen
Normal semen may have an off-white or yellow hint to the color.
Where semen is uncharacteristically yellow or greenish in color it
is a sign of infection, often due to a sexually transmitted disease
called gonorrhea. Go to your local STD clinic. If it is gohorrhea,
treatment is simple with the use of antibiotics.
# Foul Smelling Semen
Foul smelling semen is nearly always a sign of infection. Go and
see your doctor.
Yes, what you eat can influence the taste and smell of your
ejaculate. This is something like the smell of your sweat on the
next day of a heavily spicy and garlic full dinner.
Because the average ejaculate consists mostly of protein, citric
acid, fructose, sodium, chloride and smaller amounts of ammonia,
ascorbic acid, acid phosphates, calcium, carbon dioxide,
cholesterol, prostaglandins, creatine, and other minerals and
chemicals which are produced by the prostate gland, cowpers gland,
testicles and many other parts of your body, but shortly by "your
body", and your body can only use its stocks and what you eat as
its raw material.
Of course, every body has its own formula to create the semen, but
eating less meat (and proteins) and more carbo hydrates, vegetables
and fresh fruits may improve the taste and smell. For example
parsley is a healthy plant and may also help to make your body
juices more sweeter.
In general, dairy products create the foulest tasting fluids,
alkaline based foods as meat and fish produce a butter, fish taste.
Fruits and quality alcohol are good for a pleasant, sugary flavor.
Chemically processed liquors may cause an acidic taste.
As said previously, ejaculate containing sperm has a unique
individual taste for each male. Some males have bitter tasting
ejaculate, tastes burnt, sour and strong. Other males, primarily
vegetarians have ejaculate that generally tastes sweet, nut like.
But to produce healthy semen your body will need some protein rich
in zinc anyway.
A strong smell may also indicate an infection in genitals and you
should urgently visit a doctor for relevant tests.
Of course your body's duty is not producing tasty semen, but
healthy and productive sperms. Everything healthy and good for your
body is healthy and good for your semen. Drink mild water on the
morning and keep drinking more water than usual in the day, this
will also help your bowels and your body to detoxinate. Eat less
meat, more vegetables, drink less alcohol and stop smoking.
