Had a vasectomy in December but still noticing white semen during ejaculation. Is this normal or should I be concerned about the surgery not working properly?

It's normal to have white semen after a vasectomy. While the vasectomy prevents sperm from being carried in the semen, the body still produces fluids and other substances that make up the ejaculate, which usually appear white or cloudy.

I've been having some on-and-off pain in my lower abdomen over the past few months, so I went for an abdomen scan. The results showed an anechoic cortical cyst in the upper pole of my right kidney, but no renal calculi or signs of hydronephrosis or hydroureter. Should I be worried about this cyst? I'm not sure what it means for my health, and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.
