Solids In Semen
by pic, Aug 23, 2007 06:47PM
I recently noticed what I thought was brown spots in my semen. Upon further investigation I touched it and realized it was a hard solid form. My best description is it looks and feels like "brown bread crumbs" (Maybe 3 or 4 "crumbs" per ejaculation). My semen color has always been a thin yellowish color very similar to an egg white, never a white milky color. I do not feel any pain or discomfort or anything else abnormal. I have no signs or symptoms of any STD's. I just happened to see it while masterbating (masturbating) or else I would have never known, thus I can't really pinpoint when it started. I am a perfectly healthy 30 year, however, I've always had an erection problem and have been on viagra, yohimbine, etc; for as long as I've been sexually active.
This sees very irregular to me.

There can be variance in semen character.
Obtaining a urinalysis and possible semen analysis can be considered if the symptoms continue.
Ruling out infection should be done - which can also include a prostatic massage to evaluate the prostate.
These options can be discussed with your personal urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
