What Causes Red And Brown Colour Sperm?
Question: Hello i have noticed it was red before now its brown sperm not in my urine im highly stressed (sepearation) no intercourse since sept just masterbating. Only 33 years old highly active excerise should i be worried ? I have had chornic epdiymitis before what should i do ?
Brief Answer:
Usually due to a non specific inflammation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Blood in sperm usually manifests as brown or red colouration. Thus often has no relation to intercourse or masturbation. In a relatively elderly individual, we would be concerned about malignancy, but in a young patient, the chances of a serious disease are very low. However, you can get a few basic tests done to ensure we do not miss anything serious. These include a semen analysis, semen for culture and sensitivity, Transrectal ultrasound for any pathology of prostate and seminal vesicles. Most likely, as you have no previoys oast medical history, the tests will report nothing pathological, and the condition should usually resolve with rest, abstinence from intercourse and masturbation, and use of empirical antibiotics like a course of Ciprofloxacin for a weekand antiinflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen. Stool softeners might also help.
Hope you get better soon.

Brief Answer:
Yes, Probably no relation to urination
Detailed Answer:
You got it right.
As of now, with the history you've given, it looks as if what you have is most likely a problem of the sperm transport pathway. You can continue to take plenty of fluids, and rest, and as you said, no 'choking the chicken' till everything's fine.
