What Causes Blood In Semen After Masturbating?
Hello, I have a concern regarding blood in my semen. It started months ago and I saw my pcp and a urologist who told me it should be nothing to worry about. It continues to come and go and I notice it mostly comes back after masturbation. It is rare after sex with my wife. I have also noticed small brown chunks every now and then. What do I do? No doctor seems to think anything is wrong. I had prostate exam and it was fine.

Hi,
These symptoms indicate in most cases prostate issues such as prostatitis or hypertrophy and rarely it may be sign of STD infection. You should avoid intercourse for till symptoms persist and drink plenty of fluids.
If symptoms persist it would be good to do prostate ultrasound and check your PSA levels to rule out prostate tumor or hypertrophy and further treatment depends on these findings.
In most cases it can be controlled with medications but sometimes, in case of tumor, open surgery is required. And severe benign hypertrophy may be managed endoscopically so you should consult urologist about appropriate options.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein
