Just relax

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query
The most probable reason could be minor bleeds from prostatic veins at the time of ejaculation A microscopic examination will clarify In case of bleeds,there will be red blood cells These are not dangerous at all Though uncommon, It is cured by itself because the bleeding stops immediately.
I imagine you are very concerned about the possibility of a serious illness like cancer but for sure, it is not serious.Still for your satisfaction,you can get a Total PSA level tested . Please relax
