Men will normally ejaculate a thick and white semen. A discoloration will indicate that something is wrong in your body. For example, semen will have a brown color because of the presence of blood. This is quite alarming. However, it is treatable. Before getting the right treatment, the first step is to find the specific cause.

What are the Causes of Brown Semen?

Now why is your sperm brown? Hematospermia or the presence of blood in the semen is caused by several factors. The following are the common causes.

Infection

The most common cause of a dark brown semen is an infection. It occurs due to the invasion of microorganisms such as parasites, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. These microbes can enter a man’s reproductive system through various ways. One method is through intercourse. Brown sperm is often a symptom of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and herpes.

Inflammation

There are several organs involved in sperm production like the prostate gland, epididymis, seminal vesicles, urethra, and vas deferens. When any of these organs is swelling, one will ejaculate a brown-colored semen. These organs may swell due to various reasons such as irritation, trauma, the presence of calcified deposits or stones, and infection.

Medical Procedures and Injuries

Medical procedures such as prostate biopsy, radiotherapy, urological procedures, and vasectomy can lead to hematospermia. Injury to the testicles and penis can also cause this semen discoloration. Other causes are a pelvic fracture, rough sex, and masturbating vigorously.

Obstruction

When a duct obstruction occurs, the blood vessels surrounding the area will dilate and break leading to blood in the seminal fluid. Another possible cause is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is a condition wherein an enlarged prostate pinches the urethra.

Polyps and Tumors

The presence of polyps in the reproductive system can cause blood in semen. Polyps are abnormal growth of tissues that feels like a small bump. Typically, it is benign. However, it may become cancerous.

Another cause of bloody sperm is a tumor. According to a review, about 3.5% of the 900 patients with a brown sperm have tumors, most of which are present in the prostate. Furthermore, malignant tumor or cancer is not restricted to the prostate gland. It can also develop in the testicles, bladder, and other organs of the reproductive and urinary system. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that older men who have a high risk of developing cancer should seek medical attention if they ejaculated a red or brown-colored seminal fluid.

Vascular Problems

Blood vessels surround the reproductive system. Due to several causes, they can be ruptured or damaged resulting to hematospermia.

Certain Medical Conditions

Here are other medical conditions that could be linked when your sperm is brown: hypertension, leukemia, liver diseases, and HIV.

Semen Color Meaning

Seminal fluid is a good indicator of a man’s health status. A colored sperm will most likely indicate a problem. The following are the common colors of semen and their meaning.

White Semen

A white, cloudy, and viscous semen indicates good health. After 30 minutes, it will normally dissolve or liquefy. Due to its high fructose contents, it has a sweet flavor. If your partner noticed an unusual flavor, high water intake and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables will resolve this problem.

Yellow Semen

In most cases, a yellow semen is normal. As a man gets older, their seminal fluid may have some discoloration. Men who have not ejaculated for a long time may also release semen with a yellowish tinge. When the seminal fluid has some urine, it may also turn yellow. Thus, it is best to urinate before having intercourse.

In some cases, it can be caused by several medical conditions such as an infection or jaundice. It is an infection if your seminal fluid has an unpleasant odor. One has jaundice if the skin or white part of the eye is yellowish. If you have any of these symptoms, you should consult your doctor for appropriate treatment.

Clear or Watery Semen

Sperm cells are responsible for the semen’s white color. A clear or watery semen may indicate a low sperm count. If you ejaculated a clear seminal fluid, it is best to consult your doctor, especially if you are trying to have a baby. An exception for this is if you ejaculate several times a day. Frequent ejaculation will also lead to a watery sperm. For boys, their reproductive system is still developing. Thus, their seminal fluid may also be clear or colorless.

Red or Brown Semen

As discussed here, a red or brown sperm indicates the presence of blood due to various factors. In most cases, it will go away without treatment. You will need to seek medical attention if additional symptoms are present such as pain during urination and ejaculation, fever, an increase in heart rate, and an increase in blood pressure.

What to Do if your Semen is Brown?

Depending on the specific cause of hematospermia, various treatments are available. If you released a brown colored semen, you can do the following:

If you had a recent medical procedure like a prostate biopsy or urology procedure, treatment is not necessary. The brown semen will go away after a few weeks.
For young and healthy men, if there are no additional symptoms, your semen will return to its white color without treatment.
You need to see your doctor if you have noticed additional symptoms. The doctor will perform a physical exam and may order some tests such as urinalysis, STD testing, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, and urological tests. These tests will help determine the exact cause of your brown sperm.
If the blood in the semen is due to a medical condition like hypertension, the doctor will prescribe appropriate medications to treat the underlying illness.
An antibiotic is prescribed for infections, including STDs.
If there is an inflammation, anti-inflammatory drugs will help ease the pain and swelling.
Your doctor may refer you to a urologist if the condition is caused by a problem in the urinary or reproductive tract. The important symptoms are pain during urination or ejaculation.
Your doctor will request a prostate biopsy if he thinks that this condition is due to prostate cancer. This type of cancer is more prevalent in men aging 45 years old and above. However, younger men with a family history of cancer will also be tested.

Stamp colors are troublesome to the expertizer, but no less so to the collector. Witness this question from Linn’s reader Todd Hause.

First, he provides a little background: “As a collector of 19th century U.S. stamps, stationery and postal history, one area that has and continues to plague me, perhaps more than any other area of identification, is color.

“I used to think I had a pretty good eye for color and then I started collecting stamps. I now own six or more different color guides that vary in cost from $10 to $100 each. To make matters worse, the colors in and between these guides are as varied as the item I seek to identify.

“This leads me to my question. How does an expertizer determine the color of a stamp or envelope?”

I embark on an answer with a large degree of humility, as Hause has identified one of the major problems with which expertizers must deal, and I would not claim infallibility here.

Each stamp is its own problem, and there are no unalterable rules that apply to all United States stamps.

So let’s consider the case of a 19th-century problem child that many of us have agonized over. In the next expertizing column, I’ll look at a 20th-century color problem that poses difficulties.

Comparing a stamp submitted for expertizing — what I’ve referred to as a patient — to reference examples is a good alternative, but it is also imperfect: For every stamp color, there are usually several gradations.

Further, the human eye is not a reliable gauge, as perception differs somewhat from person to person, even in excellent lighting

Color charts, as Hause indicates, do differ from one another, and are sometimes internally inconsistent.

So what are we to do?

Our 19th-century example is U.S. Scott 10 and 10A, the 3¢ 1851 orange brown stamp on the cover in Figure 1, to be distinguished from Scott 11 and 11A in Figure 2, which is identified in its major listing as dull red, but which also has minor listings of orange red, rose red, brownish carmine, claret, deep claret, plum and pinkish.

How to make sense of that? Well, the first thing to do is to carefully read the Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps and Covers. If you do that, you will discover that both Types I and II of the orange brown variety were first issued in 1851.

The dull red variety of the Type I stamp, with its inner framelines not recut (Scott 11) was not issued until March 1855. Type II of the dull red variety (11A) was released between 1851 and 1855, depending upon the plate used to produce the stamps.

So, this tells us that Type I imperforate stamps canceled before March 1855 are orange brown.

Considering the issue dates of the Type I stamps, any imperforate associated with an 1851 date is orange brown, and many others with 1852-54 dates could be the orange brown.

If the stamp is on cover, one needs to pay attention to the cancellation date and docketing.

It was the practice in many cases to write the date of receipt on covers, especially if the cover was business mail of some sort.

Off-cover examples will also sometimes carry a year date in the cancellation.

Those who work with these stamps often, including expertizers, specialists in the issue and stamp dealers, develop the faculty of being able to recognize orange brown in a heartbeat.

For the rest of us, reference examples are a helpful guide, even if not entirely reliable given the fact that there is variation even in the orange browns.

The Scott U.S. specialized catalog, for example, also lists a deep orange brown for both Scott 10 and Scott 10A, and a copper brown variety for Scott 10A, but not Scott 10.

There is also a color chart that is a highly satisfactory aid. It is the Encyclopedia of Colors of United States Postage Stamps by R.H. White. There are four volumes that cover U.S. postage stamps from 1847 to 1917, and a fifth volume that covers postage due issues from 1879 to 1916. The color plates are professionally and accurately done, and while there might be some quibbles with the color terminology, this is the best reference that exists for the stamps it covers.

The color plate from White’s book addressing Scott 11 is shown in Figure 3.

The book is almost too good in that it lists and illustrates, for example, 10 different colors of Scott 10, and nine different colors of Scott 11. (The book was published in 1981, before there were separate listings for Scott 10A and 11A.)

An article published with the plates also provides critical information about the dates of appearance of the various colors.

The books were not cheap — more than $300 when first released — but every expertizer who looks at U.S. 19th century, Washington-Franklins, and early postage dues, needs to have it. It does come up periodically in the stocks of philatelic literature dealers.

Returning to the item pictured in Figure 1, it does not appear to be a particularly desirable cover. The cancellation is indistinct. The stamp is cut close and pen canceled. But it has its original letter inside, which matches in salutation the addressee on the envelope, and the letter is clearly dated July 12, 1851.

What makes this cover special is the note on the back in the handwriting of Dr. Carroll Chase (1878-1960), the premier early researcher on the issues of 1851 and 1857: “Fine copy Plate 1E orange brown, red Rockton, NY canc. Dated July 12 (1851) in the cover. Early use.”

How early? The earliest known use for this stamp is July 1, 1851.

Now, if I have an example submitted to be expertized as an orange brown, I have several resources at hand: the Scott U.S. specialized catalog, the color plates and write-ups in the White encyclopedia, and my own reference collection that includes an example annotated by Chase, the master himself. I also have my experience with handling this stamp over many years, and additional philatelic literature.

And remember that I am going to be only one of three or more experts looking at the submitted stamp and rendering an opinion.

So, to repeat what I have said earlier in this series, expertizers strive to get it right. There are checks and balances built into the system, including multiple informed eyes looking at the patient.

This does not ensure that the final opinion will be right in 100 percent of the cases, but every effort is made to make it so.

Cartoon winner

It does seem I struck a nerve with the cartoon caption contest stamp for June using the 22¢ Public Hospitals commemorative stamp shown in Figure 4. A dozen or so entries submitted were in the class of political statement — mostly without an element of humor. I am glad to have given those readers an opportunity to get their opinions off their chests, but those entries will not be used in this report.

The administrative aspects of health care — especially in the realm of insurance cost and process — was the target of several entries for the June contest. This is nicely typified by “Mr. Smith, have you finished filling out our streamlined 351-page health insurance form? Mr. Smith? Mr. Smith? Oh my goodness, he’s dead!” submitted by T. Ryan from San Francisco, Calif.

Next in popularity was the subject of self-adhesive stamps. An example, from Frank Schmitt of Rockford, Ill., is “We have to tell the doctors to stop using these new forever stamps in place of Steri-Strips. The patients are complaining that they don’t soak off.”

A different approach to this issue was taken by Bill Kriebel of Philadelphia, Pa.: “Hey, forget those other medical problems; this is one item we can lick!”

Nina Jackson of Culver City, Calif., represents a group of entries that focused on the ills of the U.S. Postal Service, with a doctor saying, “I doubt if I can cure what ails the Postal Service.”

The nonphilatelic winner shown in Figure 4 plays off the unusual architecture of the hospital shown on the stamp. It is from David Schwartz of Commack, N.Y.

The philatelic line winner channels the future with a reference to the nondenominated stamps that would not be issued for 12 more years. It is, “What a rip-off! H stamps are supposed to be worth 33¢!” by Mildred Barylski of Alexandria, Va.

Both winners will receive Linn’s Stamp Identifier published by Amos Hobby Publishing, or a 13-week subscription to Linn’s (a new subscription or an extension). The book has a retail value of $12.99.

Here are a few of the runners-up:

“Just because I collect duck stamps doesn’t mean I’m a quack!” by Edgar Dunlap of Gainesville, Ga.

“Hey Doc, is it a boy or a girl?” “Yes, both!” from May Aginsky of Brooklyn, N.Y.
