Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

Black thread kind of stuff with semen is likely related to some prostate problem.

It can be some kind of infection for which you may need antibiotic. Other possibility is it is due to inflammation of prostate and secondary minor bleeds. These black threads can be clots of blood from small vessels of the prostate.

You need examination in form of routine check up, semen analysis, ultrasound scrotum and pelvis and routine blood investigations.

You should consult surgeon or urologist for the same.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
