Brief Answer:
Please, monitor and report if it persists!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this dark ejaculate and all the inconveniences this has caused you. In most instances, these are one time observation with no recurrence and of no pathological significance. For this reason, I will recommend that you monitor and report the color of future ejaculates. If this persist, then analyzing the semen would be done at that time.

For now, stay calm, monitor and report progress to me.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Do you have this after every ejaculation or it was a one time observation?

Hi,

Has this been happening all the times for the last three months or it is a transient observation?

Brief Answer:
I will suggest you get the semen analysed!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

With dark semen all the times, I will like that you get it analysed. of course, it starts with looking at its volume, colour, etc and this would make this more tangible. Further analysis as with other samples would throw more light on this.
I wish you well and keep me updated!
