Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Blood in the semen could be due
1.Infection (severe prostatic infection)
2.Malignancy.
XXXXXXX Stools can only be due to severe infection with certain specific organisms like pseudomonas.

Both the problems require further investigation promptly.
I hope this answers your querry.
With regards
