Brief Answer:
Prostate

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but the most common causes of reddish brown semen are prostatitis and prostatic tumors.. I would recommend that you get an ultrasound pelvis yo exclude prostatitis and a blood test for PSA ( prostatic specific antigen to exclude prostatic tumors. I hope you find this helpful. If you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
