Dear user,
I really understand your concern.
Based on your medical history about a hip trauma, the first cause that should be ruled out is testicular trauma (do you see any purple color on your tests or do you feel pain there?).
If you are under age 40, infection is the most common cause and if you are over age 65 blood in semen is a slight predictor of a cancer (malignancy), most often prostate cancer.
On the other hand often, no cause can be found for blood in semen.
All the best!
