What Causes Light Red Ejaculation And Tender Testicles After Kidney Removal?
Hello there, I had a kidney removed about 12 days ago. Starting around day 7, I noticed my right testacle (same side as the removed kidney) was tender to the touch and my ejaculate was very yellow. A day or two later I noticed a slight red tinge to the yellow, and now today my ejaculate is mostly light red. Not exactly the deep red colour of blood. I went to my family doctor today and he couldn t think of a reason why this may be happening. He sent me for a blood and urine test and the results should be available within 24 to 48 hours. My doctor is not aware of the red ejaculate from today. I m more than a little concerned....

Hello
Thanks for query.
Was your kidney removed for any inflammatory condition or malignancy..
The swelling of the testicle and red colored semen (Hemospermia) is mostly due to infection of testicle (Orchitis).
Please visit to operating surgeon and get your ultrasound scanning of scrotum done to confirm the diagnosis.
In the mean while start taking antibiotics like Cefixime and anti inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac twice daily.
Ensure to drink more water.
Ensure to avoid sexual activities.
