Pretty much the title. the last 3 times we have noticed its definitely brownish..this is new within the last 3 weeks. the only meds I am on is Peptobismol at night, Lomotil before meals, and Amitriptyline for sleeping. low dose at 10mg. if it continues i should probably see a urologist? mention it to my surgeon who is also my gastro at the moment?

The only medication that might promote bleeding might be the Pepto Bismol, since it is a salicylate. The other meds should not be an issue. With the color being brown, it is old blood, so not something acute.

 

Blood in the semen is pretty common, and any local trauma could have contributed, such as your recent surgery. Even though you did not have a pouch redo, the surgeon probably felt around down there to check things out. If you do not have other symptoms, such as pain, fever, swelling, etc., you can wait and see how it goes. Often, it just goes away and they never know what caused it. You didn't recently start riding a bicycle did you?

 

But, calling your surgeon or primary doc for advice is fine too. Good for peace of mind. They can do a blood count and urinalysis to see if there is evidence of infection, and if it persists, send you for a urology consult.
