Hi,

Thanks for writing in.

The symptoms you have described are suggestive of a prostatic problem. The chances of malignancy are high especially with blood stained semen.

You need to consult an Urologist immediately to get yourself clinically assessed and investigated.

A digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound, blood PSA (Prostatic Specific antigen) levels and a semen analysis will help in diagnosis.

The blood in stools could be due to external hemorrhoids which can be cured easily either by medical or surgical treatment.

I hope this answers your doubt. Please do write back in case you have any follow up queries to ask.

With regards
