I Am 26 Years Old Male And Since 5 Days
Question: I am 26 years old male and since 5 days (on 23rd of March) I noticed weird problem when I ejaculate. The color of my semen is light brown (tan)... first I thought it could be blood, but it doesn't look red, but brown.
I tried not ejaculation for 2 days and then I ejaculated a few times daily to see if there are changes. There is little change in the color, but it's still brown. I am on feeling any pain just a bit discomfort on my lower abdominal and testicles.
My clinical background: On 11th of March I had wisdom teeth removal surgery and I got a prescription for Clindamycin-MIP 600 mg (1 pill per 12 hours for 3 days)... and as a side effect of antibiotic I got diarrhea. Currently, I am getting probiotic Linex forte which includes Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5®, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12® + prebiotic Inulin.
On the 29th of November I had same surgery and I had to take the same antibiotic and I had the same side effect (diarrhea) I consulted my GP for this because I had diarrhea + pain in my lower abdominal and testicles. He prescribed me Linex forte and it stopped after 2 packs.
So my question is is it possible this color of my semen to be another side effect of the antibiotic or the probiotic? If not what could be the reason for this? Thank you in advance!
