About blood in semen (hematospermia)
Hematospermia comes from the prostate, seminal vesicles, urethra or testicles. In men under 40 it is usually due to inflammation or infection and settles by itself. In older men or with recurrence, doctors look for prostate problems, infections, stones, a high blood pressure link, bleeding disorders and, rarely, tumours.
Evaluation may include urine tests, STI screening, a blood pressure check, PSA (in older men) and ultrasound. Treatment depends on the cause. See also prostatitis and blood in urine.
