Last year had blood in sperm , which lasted three months . Scanned testicle , which came back with a concern .
Three more scans over a period of 6 months no concerns duo to no change
October this year blood in sperm reappeared , still on going in December .
PSA score low 0.6 , prostrate enlarged on cytology but no rectal examination of prostrate performed .
Hospital do not seem concerned but should I go back to the GP to explain my concerns on the blood reoccurring ?

Have you had any scans of your prostate and seminal vesicles to check for cancer or any other obvious cause?

Prostate cancer can cause blood in semen - one US hospital reported that 14% of cases of blood in semen referred to them were due to prostate cancer, so it's not a direct correlation.

Most often, the cause of blood in semen is never found, but in the process, all potentially serious causes are ruled out. High blood pressure may be the most common cause.

No scans of prostrate or seminal vessel , PSA test , which was 0.6 and cystoscopy which showed an enlarged prostrate on both sides .

Hi Ted.

Welcome to the forum.

Apparently the posh name for it haematospermia. It appears that the cause is rarely anything serious.

Good luck mate.👍
