If hematospermia persists beyond 2 months, further workup is recommended to determine the cause. In approximately half the cases, the etiology is declared idiopathic. However, this may reflect an incomplete evaluation. […] The most common etiology is prostate biopsy, which produces self-limited hematospermia that resolves within approximately 1 month. […] Other authors have recognized prostate cancer as an etiologic factor. A study by Han et al reported a significantly increased risk of prostate cancer among men with hematospermia.

• #8 Hematospermia: etiology, diagnosis, and treatment

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5904639/

  Hematospermia has been, historically, related to sexual overindulgence, prolonged sexual abstinence, and interrupted sexual intercourse. The presence of blood in the semen is known to be induced by inflammation, infection, tumors, blockage or injury, vascular abnormalities, systemic disease, and iatrogenic factors in any region within the male reproductive organs. The condition is most commonly caused by urogenital infections, especially in males younger than 40 years old. […] In patients below 40 years old, infection of the urogenital tract is the most common etiology. […] The fear of underlying malignancy prompts many people with hematospermia to undergo examination, and although men over 40 years old have a slightly increased risk of malignancy, urogenital malignancy is an infrequent cause of hematospermia, with prostate, testis, and seminal vesicle tumors having been reported.

• #70 Hematospermia: etiology, diagnosis, and treatment

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5904639/

  Hematospermia has been, historically, related to sexual overindulgence, prolonged sexual abstinence, and interrupted sexual intercourse. The presence of blood in the semen is known to be induced by inflammation, infection, tumors, blockage or injury, vascular abnormalities, systemic disease, and iatrogenic factors in any region within the male reproductive organs. The condition is most commonly caused by urogenital infections, especially in males younger than 40 years old. […] In patients below 40 years old, infection of the urogenital tract is the most common etiology. […] The fear of underlying malignancy prompts many people with hematospermia to undergo examination, and although men over 40 years old have a slightly increased risk of malignancy, urogenital malignancy is an infrequent cause of hematospermia, with prostate, testis, and seminal vesicle tumors having been reported.

[…] Infections and inflammatory disorders account for 40% of cases. Infectious causes of hematospermia include, but are not limited to, tuberculosis (TB), HIV infection, and cytomegalovirus infection. […] Trauma has been cited as a cause of hematospermia in several case reports. […] Systemic disorders that are associated with hematospermia include hypertension, chronic liver disease, amyloidosis, lymphoma, and bleeding diatheses (eg, von Willebrand disease).

  Hematospermia, the presence of grossly bloody or blood-tinged penile (seminal) ejaculate, is an uncommon condition. While it is usually alarming to patients, the cause is almost always benign. […] The most important lesson from the literature is that hematospermia is almost never a sign of cancer in younger patients. […] The most common cause of hematospermia is a prostate biopsy. Hematospermia occurs in more than 80 percent of men undergoing prostate biopsy and lasts for an average of three to four weeks. Hematospermia is also common after radiation treatment for prostate cancer, occurring in as many as 25 percent of patients after external beam radiation and 17 percent after brachytherapy. In addition, vasectomy can cause hematospermia for a week or more.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematospermia

  Hematospermia (also known as haematospermia, hemospermia, or haemospermia) is the presence of blood in the ejaculate. It is most often a benign symptom. Among men age 40 or older, hematospermia is a slight predictor of cancer, typically prostate cancer. No specific cause is found in up to 70% of cases. […] Though haematospermia may cause considerable distress to patients, it is often a benign and self-limiting condition caused by infections, particularly in younger patients. An isolated episode is usually considered benign and not likely to be associated with malignancy. Recurrent haematospermia may indicate a more serious underlying pathology particularly in patients over 40 years of age. […] Infection or inflammation is considered the most common cause of the condition. Implicated pathogens include; Gram-negative bacteria (often E. coli), gonococci, Treponema pallidum, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, echinococcus (rarely), HSV type 1 or 2, and HPV. The condition may also rarely be caused by some chronic systemic infections like tuberculosis or schistosomiasis. Additionally, testicular, prostate, and epididymal inflammation in general may present with haematospermia as feature.

[…] If your gym sessions include weight lifting, that can push your blood pressure very high for a short period, and that could do it.

However, it’s only bright red for a few days after it leaked, and it then turns dark brown (literally, the iron in the leaked blood goes rusty, same as for a scab) for the rest of the time it’s being ejected.

It is almost always a benign condition that is not a sign of anything which would potentially pose a threat to a mans health. […] When blood is present in the semen, it arises from either the seminal vesicle or prostate. […] The most common cause for blood in the semen is the rupture of a small blood vessel in the seminal vesicle or prostate during erection and ejaculation. Blood vessels can break open in the seminal vesicle and prostate just the same as a blood vessel can break open in the nose after sneezing and cause a nose bleed. […] Overall, hematospermia is a benign condition. With the above office examination, the physician can determine if there are any significant problems present. If the examination is okay, then typically nothing further needs to be done. […] Men can feel reassured that this is not a symptom of something which would pose a threat to their health.
