Question : How does bloody semen after prostate biopsy affect female vagina if no condom is used during sex?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (41 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Increased risk of transmitting STDs.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If no condom is used then a bloody semen increases the risk of sexually transmitted infections as blood is a good culture medium for the bacteria and viruses. If you are in a monogamous relationship for a long time then such a risk is much lower.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
