Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Blood in the semen can be caused by many different factors. At your age, prostate enlargement and prostate cancer should be ruled out at first. This is more possible if you also have any problems when urinating.
Prostate inflammation, urinary tract inflammation can be also a reason of such symptoms.
I suggest you to consult urologist. PSA level should be checked and transrectal ultrasound done.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
