Can Cirrhosis Of The Liver Cause Blood To Appear In Urine And Semen ?

Can cirrhosis of the liver cause blood to appear in urine and semen? can cirrhosis of the liver cause blood to appear in your urine and blood? I am 40 yrs old. Black male. I found blood in my urine the first time at age 25. It didnt happen again until my mid to late thirties. In my thirties, i found blood in my semen as well. I suspected prostate cancer , but my PSA score was 0.87 and my digital exam of my prostate was negative for nodules or BPH. I suspected that I might have herpes , but tested negative as well. I dont drink, smoke or do drugs. No history of high blood pressure , heart issues and etc. I noticed this happens after sex or masturbation. Just dont have a clue as to why this is happening and trying to get to the cause.

No. Cirrhosis by itself in isolated cause does not cause the above symptoms unless compounded by other congestive or indirect effects.
You have neglected a very important issue when you were 25 years old, anyway now that you are presently having symptoms - causes in the Urogenital tract need to be explored by other investigations as well, along with a complete STD screening.
Blood examinations, Urine tests etc also needs review.
Consult a physician immediately, rather than pondering the cause. And do not attempt to do the Prostate examination yourself - it needs a technique that would be known only by a qualified physician.

Hey,
Firstly you do not have bleeding from any other site like your nose, or in your stool. Cirrhosis would cause bleeding from any orifice. It appears like you have a problem with your genitourinary tract, specifically your urinary tract. Could be a erosion, stricture, etc. Kindly consult with a Urologist who will be able to investigate the cause and help treat it.
