What Are The Causes Of Dark Brown Discharge During Ejaculation?

I had a dark brown discharge during ejaculation. I have light color in the past but this was dark brown blood in color. I am 46yrs old. I do have hypertention. No pain involved. Everything I have read so far indicates possible problems with prostate or prostitis? Should I see I urologist soon or wait to see if blood still involved?

Hello and welcome to health care magic forums.
The dark coloured secretion in your semen is altered blood. The usual cause for blood in semen for a gentle man of your age is infection of prostate, as you have already mentioned. My advice is to visit a Urologist at the earliest and he will run some blood tests including Prostatic specific antigen. If it's high, you will be started on antibiotics. He may also perform TRUS which is a Trans rectal ultrasound to measure the size of prostate. If it's enlarged he will give some drugs like Tamsulosin which helps in bringing it back to normal.
Thank you.
