Ejaculate just like fresh blood, at first. I was told to expect that, but still not pretty. Sorry it was a surprise for you. I recall that it lasted for 4-6 weeks (to some degree). I had nothing in urine or bowel. But I was warned of that too.

I had a 26 core transperineal biopsy 10 weeks ago. PSA was 5.3 then. Results came back benign.
At first, the semen was shockingly dark red color. I had to use a condom for at least a month. Today, it is still brownish color after 10 weeks.
I am scheduled for a PSA test, and retest MRI at end of September. Then maybe a 2nd biopsy. My UCLA doctor said retest schedule is set between 6 and 12 months. We settled for a 7 month schedule since my 1st biopsy.
I have noticed the semen amount has greatly reduced. Also, I retested PSA on my own last week and it came back 6.8. I wonder if high number of biopsy core is the reason, or more serious issue is happening with my prostate.
