Brief Answer: stones in urinary tract system, any tumors etc can Detailed Answer: Hello, Thank You for consulting HealthcareMagic! Infection and trauma are most common causes of blood in semen. But, there are many other causes which include stones in urinary tract system, any tumors, polyps, cysts in genito-urinary tract. First of all, you need complete urine examination and semen analysis to confirm presence of blood or any other thing as you have mentioned it as brown granular particles, since some food items can also cause this kid of discoloration. Then, it presence of blood is confirmed, then ultrasound is needed to identify specific cause and to manage appropriately based on cause. Stay healthy and thank you for consulting!

Brief Answer: presence of blood in semen is confirmed Detailed Answer: Hi, Though you do not have any stomach pain or fever, as the presence of blood in semen is confirmed and is also visible to you, you need further evaluation. This include finding out the origin of that blood and ruling out the conditions which I mentioned above by undergoing investigations like ultrasound etc. But before that, you need a thorough physical examination as certain normal things without much clinical significance can also cause small amount of blood in semen.
