What Causes Blood In Semen And How Serious Is It?

Hello, I have a small problem; there is red blood in the semen, it is bright red and not old blood. Also, there was a large amount of blood in the semen,not a small amount, all the fluid was red. Also, there is a drawing sensation in the right testicle causing discomfort to the scale of a 2-3 with 10 being the max. The question is what causes the blood in the semen and to what degree is this serious? Thank you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Seeing blood in the semen can make a man anxious. Fortunately, it doesn't always signal a major medical problem. For men younger than 40 with no related symptoms and no risk factors for underlying medical conditions, blood in semen often disappears on its own.

Blood in the semen can come from several different sources like infection or inflammation, in any of the glands, tubes, or ducts or some sexually transmitted diseases. The best approach is to consult an urologist for physical and pathological examination. In the mean time, drink plenty of water and don't worry.
