What Causes Brownish Yellow Semen?

In the past week or so, I ve noticed a brownish and yellowish discoloration to my ejaculate--much like an apple-cider vinegar color. By the way, I do drink a water and apple-cider vinegar combination every other day. I did a little research online, but I m not sure why this is happening. I haven t had a trauma to the groin area, and I m not sexually active. But I have been getting up at night more frequently to urinate. The amount of my ejaculate is much lower, too. Signs of prostate cancer? Epididymitis? Thank you for your help. Glenn

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Frequency of urination can be due to prostate enlargement (to benign causes or cancer) but it may also be related to infection of any aspect of the genital or urinary tract as well.
The symptoms of benign enlargement of the prostate and cancer related enlargement are similar.

You need to consider a urine test at your doctor's office which can determine if an infection is present.Urine may also need to be sent to the lab.
Blood tests for PSA and complete blood count, may also be needed.

I hope this helps
