Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have read your query.
The grey colour of the semen is normal in many individuals.
So many times there is nothing to worry about.
However, since you have experienced a change in the colour, it means that there is a possible infection, and in this situation you basically need some antibiotics.
The antibiotics usually depends on the local pathognes and their senstivity.
Most often doxycycline may help.
i hope that the information helps you.
Best of luck,
Dr Mittal
