  Hematospermia or hemospermia is defined as the presence of blood in ejaculate. It often invokes considerable anxiety and is frightening for the patient. Mostly, it is due to infectious causes and regarded as a benign and selflimiting condition particularly in younger patients. Patients above 40 years of age and those with high risk factors require thorough evaluation. […] Diagnosing prostatic pathologies is made easier by performing transrectal ultrasound. It is useful in diagnosing calculi, cysts, prostatic varices, and inflammatory changes, as well as therapeutic in certain cases where cyst or abscess is drained and is found to be the cause of hematospermia. […] A role of MRI is emerging to rule out rare causes of hematospermia. Evidence based evaluation of hematospermia is not only useful in definitive diagnosis, but it can also be cost effective. Therefore, we suggest that patients with high risk factors should be investigated thoroughly.

If the patient has no risk factors, he should be discharged with a reassuring explanation for the cause of his symptoms. However, patients with highrisk factors or other associated symptoms should be investigated accordingly. […] The main purpose of the numerous investigations mentioned above is to exclude serious conditions such as cancer of the bladder or prostate.
