Im a 20-year-old man from Thailand. Im 85 kgs in weight and 195 cms tall.Im very stressed because my semen has turned yellow since a week ago. I doubt whether this problem is related to my diet and exercise or not. Im on a diet now so I eat a lot of vegetable, mainly cabbage and legume, and I go to fitness 5 days a week. My daily medicine are Orfarin ( 5mg.) and Atenolol (50 mg.). Please help me understand why it occurs and how I can solve it. Thank you very much.
