Question : Hello, what does dark brown semen mean or indicate?

Answered by Dr. Chobufo Ditah (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
For how long has this been?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I will like to know for how long this has been going on? Also, it this a constant observation or does it happen all the days? Finally, have you had any prostate pathology or surgery?

However, in most cases, changes in semen color are temporal and often not related to any serious disease condition.

Hope to hear from you...
