What could be the reason for blood in semen after masturbation?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have noticed blood in my semen. This has happened before, and has not been a serious issue; it typically requires time to heal. This recent occurrence followed a masturbation session with my penis positioned downward, which is not my usual practice. Could you provide any advice or insights on this matter?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Hematospermia, which refers to blood in the semen, can arise due to several reasons:

1. Urinary tract infection: Common symptoms include blood in the semen accompanied by a burning sensation during urination and pain in the lower abdomen. You may consider taking the tablet Uribid 100 mg twice daily after meals to address the infection. Alternatively, conducting a urine or semen culture can help determine the underlying cause.

2. Prostate infection: A pelvic ultrasound can be performed to identify any prostate-related infections.

3. Injury from sexual activity or masturbation.

4. Kidney stone: A blood-stained semen can be indicative of kidney stones. An abdominal ultrasound can aid in diagnosing this condition.

5. Bleeding disorders: This condition can be assessed by conducting specific blood investigations such as bleeding time (BT), clotting time (CT), and prothrombin time (PT INR).

6. Scrotal infection or injury: An ultrasound of the scrotum can provide insights into any scrotal-related issues.

If you experience pain along with these symptoms, you might consider using the tablets Acelenofenac and Paracetamol as a temporary relief measure.

I look forward to your response to help you.

Thank you.
