My boyfriend just noticed blood in his semen. It was just sort of pink. Does anyone know what this could be? He isn't having any pain

Hi shellj1, welcome!

Medline-plus says: “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.

Blood in the semen is usually the result of inflammation of the seminal vesicles, and will usually go away spontaneously. Often, the cause can not be determined. If the blood does not clear and ejaculate is persistently stained with blood, more extensive tests should be done, such as urinalysis and culture, semen analysis and culture, and ultrasound of the seminal vesicles.” For more on blood in semen see http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003163.htm If his condition persists he should see his doctor. Let us know how he’s doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
