Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this cane in the color of your semen and al the inconvenience this has caused you. I have reviewed your information fully and it is not suggestive of an immediate disease. With no other symptoms, it is hard that this is a huge concern at this time. Most patients with change in the color of semen generally realize that it all get resolve spontaneously. Most of this is linked to change in our diets and various foods type and not a disease. For the moment, observe only. If it persists, then we shall do a semen analysis to investigate for possible explanations such as an infection. However, this is not what I will recommend at this time. Let me know how you are doing in 7days and whether this color change is still around.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
