Brief Answer:
Prostatic pathology

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but brown colored semen usualaly indicated a prostatitic pathology that might range from inflammatory processes as prostatitis to benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic tumor.. So, I would recommend that you get a pelvic ultrasound to asses your prostate any time soon. I hope you find this helpful.. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
