56 yr. old male
PSA of 1.0 last checked Dec. 20, 2010
I have blood in my ejacluate. just completed 5 weeks of cipro 500 mg. 2x/day for BProstatitis. DRE showed a slightly enlarged prostate (after completed course of antibiotics). Urine is clear of blood (except first or second urination after ejaculation). I take Coozar, Toprol, Crestor, Plavix for heart and blood pressure issues... what could cause blood in ejaculate?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
Blood in semen is frequently seen,in people having prostatitis.
Start a course of Dutasteride and stop the Plavix at once.
Get examined by an Urologist,who'll do a DRE, then do the following tests :
1. urine routine and culture.
2. blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,platelets and PSA.
3. ultrasound scan-KUB,with a TRUS.
According to the reports,an expert opinion can be given.
