Question : I have blood in my semen
Brief Answer:
hematospermia
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are concerned that you have blood in your semen. This is called hematospermia and is usually a benign condition. It may be caused by trauma to the penis or prostate. It can also be caused by a prostate infection. In nearly 70 percent of men with the condition never find the causative agent. It is a low predictor of prostate cancer but it should be evaluated. Hematospermia usually resolves on its own without any treatment
