Brief Answer:
Hemospermia can be treated after finding cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must assure you not to worry, as treatment will stop recurrence.
You need to know that blood in semen is not normal. Now we have to find out the source and cause of the blood in semen(hemospermia).
The semen is formed mainly in the seminal vesicles, located beside the prostate gland, and also from the prostate gland.
Certain tests need to be done, like urine routine and culture,semen culture, blood routine, sugar, creatinine, PSA, platelets, PT,and ultrasound scan of abdomen and a TRUS.
TRUS is a trans rectal ultrasound scan.
Once the Urologist examines you, and the reports are available to him, proper treatment will be advised.
You're advised to avoid sex, till the reports are seen by Urologist.
Drink 8-10 glasses of fluids daily.
Wish you well.
