Last week after having sex with my partner I saw blood in my semen and I got worried and to check it again I masturbated myself again and again saw a little blood in my semen again. What is the reason for this and is it something to worry about?

There are several potential causes of hematospermia, including: inflammation or infection: infections or inflammation in the prostate, seminal vesicles, or urethra can result in blood mixing with semen. Trauma or injury: sexual activity, vigorous masturbation, or any form of trauma to the genital area can cause blood to appear in the semen. Prostate issues: conditions like prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement of the prostate) can lead to hematospermia. Urethral problems: inflammation or infection of the urethra (urethritis) can cause blood in the semen. Other factors: certain medical procedures, such as prostate biopsy or surgery, can sometimes cause temporary hematospermia. Rarely, it can be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition, such as prostate cancer or a sexually transmitted infection (sti). However, these causes are less common.
