A member asked:

Brownish semen and terrible smell in penis, what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hematospermia: Brown colored semen is due to blood mixing with the normal semen. The most common cause is a small vessel on the or in the prostate bursting from the pressure of an ejaculation. The oder may represent an infection. The best approach is to see a urologist for treatment.
