Discolored Semen

  I am 37 and have been on kidney dialysis for 18 years. I recently had
  gall bladder removed due to stones. Now two weeks after surgery I have noticed
  that my ejacualte after masterbation (masturbation) is dark, almost black. Could this be just
  residule blood from surgery or something more serious?
  Thank You,
  Daniel
