Hi, my name is Tim my INR is 2.9. last week 3.6. I had a mechanical mitral valve replacement in May 2010 and am doing very well. My question is can my INR being elevated contribute to my semen having a tannish brown color to it? The range the doctors like me to be is 2.5 to 3.0. In addition to this I eat a lot of raw garlic, drink a lot of orange juice and have 1 glass of red wine at least 4x weekly with dinner. I am an avid cyclist. I also run on an elliptical the days I dont ride my bike for 30 plus minutes. This has happened 2x in the past 2-3 weeks. After initial ejaculation on both occasions I waited a bit and ejaculated again. At that point it was clear, white again. I am 45, physically in good shape. I think anxiety is making the situation worse.
Hi, high INR may leads to internal bleeding sometimes, but it does not seem that you have some bleeding in your genital tract due to that. You may have some other problem in your genital tract that leads this kind of problem. You should consult your doctor. If needed go for testing your semen and genital tract examination to rule out any other pathology. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.
