What Causes Blood In Semen?
![default](/r/images/default.png)
4 causes sir, all listed, recommend ultrasound to find it
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Blood in the semen is called hematospermia and has the following causes:
+Prostate abnormalities
+Abnormality in the urethra (the passage in the penis through which urine and semen is delivered to the external environment)
+Trauma or injury or abnormality in the seminal vesicles (function to add more fluid to the semen making it less viscous)
+Trauma or injury or abnormality in the epididymis and vas deferent (area where the sperm is stored)
I would recommend an ultrasound examination of the region for a more accurate diagnosis on the cause sir. I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes.

Slightly yes sir
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.
Not much, but if at all the urine has an initial red tinge to it, meaning (heamturia, i.e. blood in urine), then the source of the bleed should be somewgere along the urine pathway (i.e. kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra which also passes near from the prostate that can cause compression when enlarged). I would recommend an ultrasound examination sir, that investigation will greatly help.
I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes sir.
