Prostate cancer in early stages can cause no symptoms. By the time blood in the urine appears, the other symptoms like: frequent urination, increased urination at night, problems with the erection and ejaculation, difficulty starting and maintaining the urine stream are also present.
On the other hand, prostate cancer is uncommon in men under 45. A ultrasonography of the prostate might help to exclude prostate cancer.
Blood in the semen is a serious symptom and needs further diagnostic procedures performed by a urologist to exclude cancer of other organs of the male reproductive system.
A laboratory culture of the semen that shows presence of bacteria would indicate an infection in the male genital tract rather than cancer. Certain bacteria can cause damage to the mucousa of the male reproductive organs, thus causing blood in the semen to appear.
