Disease description:

Over the past two days, I’ve noticed blood in my semen each time I had intercourse with my wife; the semen appears reddish. I’m unsure whether this is normal and would like to know what causes hematospermia (blood in the ejaculate).

Hello, red-colored semen during ejaculation is abnormal. Clinically, this condition is termed “hematospermia,” and its underlying causes are often complex. Hematospermia is typically associated with pathological conditions; the most common clinical causes are inflammatory diseases—such as prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
