Q: Bloody semen when ejaculate within 2-3 days.

I am 52 years old male.  My semen is light pink whenever I ejaculate with 2-3 days frequency.  Semen looks fine if I ejaculate once a week.  No pain, nothing.  Could this be sign of prostate cancer?

A bloody ejaculated is usually a self-limited event.  In most cases it is not assosicated with other diseases.  If it persist over a long period of time, it would be wise to seek a urological consultation that should include a PSA and a digital rectal examination.

Blood in the semen -- also known as hematospermia -- can be a very alarming symptom. However, the good news is that bloody semen is almost never a sign of a serious underlying medical problem.

Possible sources for blood in the semen include the following:

Urinary tract infections;

Prostatitis;

Sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea or chlamydia;

Benign prostate hypertrophy;

Surgical procedures such as prostate biopsy or bladder catheterization;

Trauma to the testicles or prostate;

Cancer of the prostate, bladder or reproductive organs.

 

I ggogled your question and found the above...I would still check with a physician.
