Released mostly by the prostate gland, the semen has sperm and many other fluids. The fluids or the ejaculates mainly get along with the sperm at the time of ejaculation and while passing through the tubes to the urethra.
In this track to the urethra, blood vessels can be broken by a number of things which makes way for the blood to pass through as well. This creates the leaking of blood into the semen, and sometimes into the urine as well.
If you have had a surgery or a biopsy of the prostate gland before, then it is normal for blood to pass through semen for a few days. However, if this is not the case, then hematospermia is not something that you can slight away. Apart from problems in the prostate gland, there are mostly no causes for blood to come out through semen.
For men under the age of forty, an infection can be a possible cause for hematospermia to happen. The infection causes irritation and is often accompanied by a painful urinating process. The blood in semen can be caused also because of STI or sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea.
The sight of blood repeatedly coming out through semen will not be a pleasant sight for any person. If you are of forty years or above, it is crucial to get professional help. Recurring signs of blood in semen can be a symptom of cancer. But, the chances of developing prostate cancer is low in this case.
Out of every person who has hematospermia, only about 4-6% are diagnosed with prostate cancer. It occurs most of the time due to infection and inflammation of the glands through which the semen passes.
