What does it mean when my semen is brown? Is this serious?

Posted by andrewet77 @andrewet77, Mar 6, 2023

I am a 77 year old male...my last ejaculation was brown in Color.
What does this mean? How serious is this. I am in the process of making an appointment with my primary care provider however the earliest that I can see him is March 29. Also, I had this same problem about 1 month ago and did nothing at that time.

Thank you.

About week ago I noticed a pinkish red color in my semen, a few days later it had brown. Just today it was brown again. The tip of my penis stings a little after ejaculating but otherwise no pain, and my urine is normal. Can anyone give some insight or advice?

If it is Hematospermia that is usually benign in nature. My urologist
did a prostate exam and urinalysis and was very reassuring.
You will feel relieved after getting checked out.

Welcome @figureitout, I moved your question about brown semen to this related discussion:

I hope you have seen the helpful posts from other members. Have you had surgery lately or a biopsy? Have you talked to your doctor about the discolored semen?
