Question: Hello. My name is Bradley. I’m 27 years old. I recently had blood in my semen after having sex. I’m curious as to if it is something I should go in to get tested for, or if it is a minor thing that would go away on its own.
Brief Answer:
Most probably is nothing to worry about.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX
Thank you for using "Ask a doctor" service.
In your age, a single episode of blood in the semen and without other symptoms, is nothing to worry about and goes away without need for treatment.
If this happens also in the following days and other symptoms start, you need to see a local urologist. Other symptoms may be pain in the testicles or during urinating, secretions from the penis, swelling in the testicles, ect.
In these cases it can be vesiculitis, inflammation of the glands that produce most of the fluid in ejaculate (the seminal vesicles);
seminal vesicle cysts – small, fluid-filled sacs in the seminal vesicles;
prostatitis – inflammation of the prostate gland, where semen is made
recent urological surgery;
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) – such as genital herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhoea or trichomoniasis, ect.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards, Dr. Klarida Papaqako, General and Family physician.
