Hi, I need to consult a urologist. I have noticed that my semen is kind of brownish. Not real dark but on a white tissue the discoloration is easily noticeable. As I remember I have seen that last year too, but ignored it since I thought it was not a big deal. I am 52 and I have to say that my sex activity has been low during the last 2 years (maybe once a month on the average). What do you think and suggest? Thanks.
Hello, You are having episodic hematospermia problem. The brown colour is due to the blood content in semen. The seminal vesicle infection or prostate infection can be the reason for that. You can be prescribed 6-week course of Levofloxacin like an antibiotic. Before that semen had to be submitted for culture in nearby laboratory. If still, hematospermia persist than you need to investigate with transrectal USG or MRI according to the need. You have to be taken care that you need to ejaculate semen twice in a week to prevent vesiculitis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
