Brief Answer:
see your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
Dark semen may mean that it has blood in it. This can be from problems with the prostate, epididymis or urethra. It could also be from infection. It is important to get this checked out to make sure it is not coming from any serious problem. Once your doctor figures out the cause then hopefully it will be treated and you will no longer have the problem.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
