Urine - bloody
In men, what may be mistaken for urinary bleeding is sometimes a bloody ejaculation, usually due to a prostate problem.
Blood in the semen
Blood in the semen, called hematospermia, may be undetectable (microscopic) or visible in the ejaculation fluid. It could be a symptom of something wrong in the prostate.
Symptoms
The symptoms commonly associated with BPH are collectively called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). It should be noted that BPH is not always the cause of these symptoms.
