What Causes The Semen Turn Brownish In Colour?
Hi, I am 63, type II diabetic, on a bunch of meds (Byetta, Lantus, Lipitor, etc.) and am impotant. Tonight I did manage to ejaculate ... it has been at least 6 months ... and the semen was "brownish." I have an outstanding Doctor and will ask him also but thought ... why not try this??? Many thanks, JIM

Hi,
The brown colour discharge indicates towards blood in semen called hematospermia.
For that, you have to rule out seminal vesiculitis by semen culture and transrectal USG scan.
If no any organism identified in culture then it can be aseptic vesiculitis for no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
