What Causes Blood In The Semen?
Question: i have blood in my semen and have seen a uroligist and he examined my prostate and it was fine. Also did a ct scan where they looked for cancer also came negative. I was on finesteride for five years with 1mg per day as treatment for losing my hair but have now stopped taking it for the last year. The blood in the semen comes and goes for the last 12 months but i notice a fishy odour on my penis even afer having a shower.
Brief Answer:
Hematospermia, an idiopathic condition
Detailed Answer:

Based on the information, prostate is not the cause of blood in the semen and report suggest your prostate is also fine.
You may have condition known as Hematospermia, it is idiopathic and most cases the cause will be unknown.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
