Brown Semen, Taken Antibiotics For Epididymitis, Foul-smelling Urine. What Is This?

On June 17 I noticed extreme bright red blood instead of urine when going to the bathroom. Went to the doc, got antibiotics for epididymitis (sp?) and within days: no more swelling of testicle , no redness, no blood in urine (it actually only occured that one time). They flushed my bladder at the time of doc visit and did CT of entire area (NO issues with: bladder, prostate , colon, spleen , appendix, gallbladder, or liver and nothing unusual in the flank region of my groin. NOW, yesterday I ejaculated for the first time in over a year and the semen was mocha brown in color. This would have been almost two months since the bleeding-instead-of-urine episode. My question: what the heck?! Do I still have an infection somewhere? By the way, my urine has been sorta foul smelling since all this started. Thanks

ello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Get a urine culture and sensitivity done to find out if there are any infections. Also the semen can be examined under a microscope to identify if there are any blood cells in it. It is possible that there could be blood in the seminal ducts which has come out after ejaculation.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
