What Causes Blood Spots From Penis?
About once every month or so, I'll notice fresh blood puddled on the floor of my shower. It usually comes from a spot thats top, front center of my scrotum, near the base of my penis. It usually stops fairly quickly. Yesterday, for the first time, it happened while I was on my exercise bike.
This has been going on for probably 11/2 - 2 years. Is it anything to be concerned with. I'm 67 and in generally good health outside the usual high blood pressure which is controlled wk / meds.
Thanks, WRM

Hello,
It may be due to urinary tract infection. For that you may require complete hemogram, urine analysis, ultrasound abdomen after urologist consultation. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. You may require antibiotics after consultation. Keep your self hydrated. You can take syp cital.
