                                    Brief Answer:
Bleeding in genital tract
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Brown discoloration of the semen is an indication of a bleeding spot in the genital tract. Most common site for such bleeding is prostate. Prostatitis is condition which can lead to such bleeding. Sometimes bleeding can occur from testis or ducts carrying the semen.
I would recommend you to get examined by your treating doctor to find out the exact site of bleeding.
Hope, I answered your query.
