Hi,

 

According to Dr. Motola,"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."

 

However, blood in urine is a more serious symptom, and should definitely be investigated further if it hasn't resolved by now.  You can read more here about Blood in urine. According to Dr. Feeney, "blood in the urine is very often a sign of a disease process in your body that may be very serious. Early discovery of the cause is the best path to follow and will afford the greatest chance of a good recovery."

 

Hope this helps,

Dan
