Q: Blood in sperm
asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 30th, 2008
I have found a dark brown substance in my sperm in two occasions last year which I thought might have been related to having had a bad bout of the flu with a lot of coughing. I have had clear sperm until today when discovered a red mixed with the sperm. There is no pain , no blood in my urine and no blood in my stools. Should i be concerned.

The “dark brown substance in your sperm” you noticed last year is difficult to diagnose but the “red mixed with the sperm” you notice currently might indicate blood in the sperm. You have to perform sperm analyses to confirm or exclude the presence of blood in the sperm. Blood in the sperm could be a sign of genital infection or tumor. You'll also need a physical examination of the testicles (inspection and palpation) . You can consult a urologist an schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
