Question: I asked a question earlier about blood in my ejaculations, and I was answered, except I cannot access the answer! Please repost...Thank you
Brief Answer:
Hemaspermia common
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You have notice blood in your ejaculate recently. This is a very common occurrence. The most common cause is having a small prostate infection. The ejaculate will have mucous that is expressed from the prostate gland and sometimes it will have blood in it possibly from infection. Also if you ride a bicycle the trauma from the bicycle seat can also cause bleeding into the prostate.
If you happened to be on aspirin or other blood thinners that could also cause a small amount of bleeding.
Overall I would not be too worried about the blood. If the amount of blood increases or you begin to experience pain in the rectum I would recommend that you see a urologist who can perform additional testing.
In summary
1. blood in ejaculate normal
2. Possible prostate infection
3. possible trauma to prostate
4. Blood thinners causing bleeding in prostate including aspirin
5. If symptoms worsen then seek medical attention from a urologist
I hope I answered your question. Please contact me again with your health care questions and concerns
