Sperm is typically white or off-white in color.
Factors that can affect the color of sperm:
- Diet: Certain foods and beverages can temporarily change the color of sperm. For example, eating beets can make sperm appear reddish.
- Medications: Some medications can also alter the color of sperm.
- Infections: Infections in the reproductive tract can cause sperm to appear yellow or green.
- Blood: The presence of blood in sperm can make it appear pink or red.
It's important to note that the color of sperm alone is not a reliable indicator of fertility. If you have concerns about your fertility, consult a doctor.
