What Causes Semen To Be Brown Colored?

I am a 62 year old male and have had off & on brownish semen for several (maybe 5) years. My urologist told me it was nothing to worry about as my PSA was quite low and the digital exam was normal stating it was most likely crystal like cholesteral in the gland itself. Any thoughts. No pain at any time.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, there is no need to worry about the brown color crystals.

If your PSA is stating high or digital rectal examination showed to be abnormal than only you can worry.

You can wait for the some times and there after do your examination once again.

In my opinion this are the cholesterol crystals and there is no need to worry further.

But you can do your confirmation with the semen analysis. This will guide us exactly the brown color of the semen is attributed to what.

It also help us in the further management of the condition.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
