Healthy semen is milky white in color and has the consistency of egg white. Changes in color, consistency, and even smell are typically harmless and should not be concerning. In some cases, though, this can be the result of an underlying disease.

Semen is a milky white fluid secreted from the urethra during ejaculation. Semen consists of mobile sperm and nutrient-rich fluids. The purpose of semen is to help transport sperm and stimulate fertilization.
