I don't have any pain or other issues, but I'm making an appointment. Should I see a specialist or my doctor ( general practitioner)?
Brief Answer:
For now your GP is fine
Detailed Answer:
Your GP can do an exam, blood work,urinalysis, and get an ultrasound of your scrotum as a start to working this up.
If your prostate and testicle exam is normal--no masses--and the urinalysis and blood work are normal as well as the scrotal ultrasound, then this is just idiopathic hematospermia--no specific cause and nothing serious
