Thanks for query on HCM.
Dark brown coloration in semen indicates blood in the semen.
Blood in the semen can be caused by tumors, infections, anatomical abnormalities, stones, or inflammation in many sites throughout the genitourinary system.
Usually blood in the semen is benign and resolves on its own.
Treatment, if indicated, depends upon the underlying cause.
You have to go for further investigations to confirm the diagnosis.
