What Causes Blood In Semen?

I have blood in my semen. I first noticed this when I urinated. It was difficult for me to start to urinate and once I did the first thing to come out looked like bloody semen. Once that cleared I urinated fine. Two days went by and it happen again. I also had which I thought was a lot of darker blood when I ejaculated after intercourse. I will make an appt. to see my family physician this week.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

I suggest that you get the semen analysed. This way, we can tell what the exact composition of the semen is and what the blood in it is all about.

Blood in semen could be caused by excessive sexual activity or masturbation, an infection, a prostate disease, etc. However, I will want to think that excessive sexual activity is probably the cause. This will be confirmed by the absence of no other findings suggestive of an infection.

In all, probably linked to excessive sexual activity. Semen analysis would help with this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
