Blood after ejaculation for the first time

Blood after ejaculation for the first time

I am a 47 year old man who has been diagnosed with BPH about four
years ago. I am on Flomax and I am for the most part used to frequent
urination. For the past four or five months I have been sleeping
through the night except for when I drink too much just before bed.



Last night I had spicy thai food which I have not had in a while. I
had a very bad urge to urinate on the way home. I got home in time and
relieved myself. I have had flareups like this before and am not that
concerned with it.



Later that night after ejaculation I had the urge to urinate but could
not right away. When I did I noticed a few drops of blood in the
toilet. It looked like a clot as well in the toilet.
Afterwards I did not notice any blood anytime I urinated. I have not
ejaculated since and naturally am not a little hesitant to do so.



I have never had this happen before and naturally am concerned. I am
not sure if the spicy food aggravated the prostate to the degree that
this would happen.I had a complete physical last Friday and passed.
Blood test came back normal for the most part except for cholesterol.

Any help would be appreciated! I have an appointment with my
urologist the 10th of March but would like a little peace of mind
before then if possible.

Re: Blood after ejaculation for the first time

Blood in the ejaculate is NOT a cause for much concern.

Blood in the urine is.

You need to get this sorted out.

It may be worth ejaculating to see if there is some blood there. Actually,
THAT should INCREASE your peace of mind.

Typically, the blood in the semen will go away; it may take awhil.
