My husband (28 yrs old) and I (26 yrs old) just had sex. There was a small amount of blood in his semen. He says he feels fine. We have been trying to conceive... anything to be alarmed about?

Hi cara2178, welcome!

Blood in the semen may be caused by inflammation, infection, blockage, or injury anywhere along the male reproductive tract. It may indicate disease or a problem within the urethra, testicles, epididymis, or prostate. See: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003163.htm If I were you I’d call his doctor and be guided by his or her advice. It may not be anything but it’s best to have it checked out, right? Let us know how he’s doing, ok?

Hugs,
