Blood in Semen for 4 weeks

Thanks, I certainly didn't over do it in the gym as such but have been lifting weights but stopped about three weeks ago, it seems to be clearing but it is still there if that makes sense.

Blood pressure is okay 118/83 generally, no pain except for a slight and I mean very slight ache on my left side above my groin after the 'deed' is done. Clears in a couple of hours.

Had a medical 6 weeks before the first episode which involved a prostate exam followed by another two in the last two weeks.

Thought I would follow this up just incase someone else finds themselves in a similar situation. As we all know when any symptoms arise it is a very worrying and anxious time. Very important to follow up immediately, forget about being embarrassed the medical professionals have seen it all before.

I met with a urologist who examined me and booked me in for an ultra sound (see below). I then attended the hospital for a flexible cystoscopy to check my bladder as there were micro traces of blood in my urine. Up until this point I had read quite a bit about this on the internet and had worked myself up about the procedure. I can categorically say that it was nothing worse than slightly uncomfortable and is over in a few minutes. The specialist examined my bladder three times to make sure everything was clear. Don't dread this if it has been recommended it is not painful and is a thorough exam along with the ultra sound. You can follow progress on the screen and observe where your prostrate sits. Fortunately all of this was clear.

I also received my PSA result of 1.01 which I was told was good.

I now have a baseline and will monitor this carefully. I plan to undertake medicals every year to keep track of any changes.

In terms of the haematospermia, this is still happening and the specialist has compared it to a nose bleed. I have put this down to over exerting myself in the gym having done very little excercise over the last 10 years. This 50 year old body takes longer to recover. I hope the above helps.

Thanks

Thanks, absolutely. We all think we are still 19 years old at heart and sometimes the body just can't keep up. 

Hi 

Thanks for posting this information. I have a similar problem with additional symptoms. I am in my late fifties.

In late 2018 I started having blood in semen 75% of time. Saw my urologist he said nothing to worry about.

Continued experiencing this for two years. Had abdominal discomfort, pain during ejaculation and most bothersome was a swelling feeling in lower right pubis area down to testicle after each ejaculation. This would last three to four days after ejacualtion. Very uncomfortable. Couldn’t sit still for long periods of time because of discomfort.

Saw the doctor numerous times in the two years. Doctor said it’s BPH and prostatitis. PSA was low 1.0 to 1.4

He suggested an MRI of prostate more to ease my concerns because I kept inquiring. He didn’t expect the MRI to reveal anything.

Prostate MRI revealed four spots that appeared suspicious. I had a prostate biopsy and was hit 34 times with the needle concentrating on those four suspicious lesions and the 12 random.

No cancer was found.

My symptoms slowly disappeared and I no longer had blood in the semen. It took the full two years to go away though.

Unfortunately the blood in semen came back one week ago after completely disappearing for one full year. The swelling feeling is back and very annoying and uncomfortable.
I have been exercising daily recently and I am doing leg extensions and leg curls.
My new urologist doesn’t see a correlation with exercise when I saw him yesterday, but I disagree. I think it is related. I will continue to monitor and I appreciate this website with posts. 

Thanks
