Q: Blood in Semen

I want to take advice from you that, i am fully enjoying my sex life but from the last one month i have a serious problem that there is blood in semen. i was using condom and when i ejaculated i found that there is blood in the semen as the color was almost red. i didn't feel any pain. After that i give some gap in the intercourse about one week, Also my intercourse frequency is about a week. After a week i got night fall which also contain blood. After a week, when i again intercourse, apparently there was no blood in it but the colour was muddy or brownish. yesterday, it was again brownish in color, looking to me blood. I need serious advice, whether it is some serious problem or what it is actually? There is no pain or feeling normally but very slight pain in the pennis after ejaculation for a very short period. Also as per my best memory there was no physical injury in any area of my body.

Blood in the semen is called hematospermia. It is usually a self-limited condition that tends to be benign, but in older patients, it may rarely be associated with malignancy. Most commonly it is associated with an inflammatory condition of the prostate (such as prostatitis) or the seminal vesicles. Blood clots in the urine however may be indicative of something not related to the ejaculation, but rather in the bladder and should be further evaluated. If the blood in the semen becomes persistent, further evaluation with a urologist would be advised.

I have a question related to, but maybe not the same as the man with other concerns.  I am experiencing a similar situation in that for the last two times I have had sex, I have found blood in my semen.  also for the next hour after sex I do find blood in my urine as well.  I did go to a doctor and she prescribed an antibiotic (now that I've read more, I think she is just hoping to rule out prostatitis.  What really concerns me though is that 8 and 5 years ago a similar problem occurred.  I was married in the meantime ( for 4 years) and so was not using condoms but during the time with my ex-wife, I never noticed blood in my urine or semen.  Now I am having this problem again and am using condoms so, of course, my first question is whether this could be related to my use of condoms, maybe an allergy--though I do not know how latex allergies present and manifest.  But my real fear is that I may be dealing with cancer and have been poorly diagnosed for years.  I would just like to know what tests I should demand so that I have not only the best information but also the most informed decision about how I should move forward.  I am 39 years old and have no health insurance but I will pay for as much as I can to help myself.  I will admit  that I am very scared.  Any information you can provide will be very very appreciated.  Thank you so much for any any and all help you can provide.
