Blood In The Semen: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment
Hematospermia is a condition in which you spot blood in the semen. It's commonly caused due to prostate biopsy. There can be various other reasons leading to this condition which range from infections, inflammation in the urogenital system, tumours, stones, anatomical abnormalities, etc.
Blood in the semen is not always a sign of a major health issue; in males aged below 40 the blood in the semen usually disappears by itself but the men aged over 40 need to get it analysed and treated for the same:
- If the bleeding in the semen is recurring.
- If similar symptoms are observed while ejaculating and urinating.
- If you are prone to cancer, bleeding disorders, etc.

by
the
doctor
by
asking
about
the
patient's
history
which
includes
his
recent
sexual
activity.
The
genitals
of
the
person
are
also
physically
examined
by
the
doctor
in
order
to
detect
any
swelling
or
lump.
The
rectum
of
the
person
is
also
analysed
virtually
to
find
out
if
there
is
tenderness
or
swelling
in
the
prostate
along
with
other
symptoms.
Other
tests
that
a
person
with
hematospermia
may
undergo
are:
- Analysis of the urine or urinalysis in which the urine of the person is analysed for infections or abnormalities.
- Prostate cancer test.
- Ultrasound, cystoscopy, MRI and CT scan.
- A condom test to find out whether the blood present in the semen is coming from his sexual partner; if this is the case the man will be asked to wear a condom to stay safe.
Treatment For Hematospermia
The treatment for this condition depends on the cause behind it:
- If the blood in the semen is due to inflammation, different medicines are given for the various types of inflammations.
- Sometimes antibiotics are given to treat the condition.
- If the cause behind the condition is STD, liver disease or high blood pressure, they are treated accordingly.
