Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have noticed black thread like stuff being discharged with semen during ejaculation .

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to establish diagnosis .
1) Semen examination and culture
