Abstract

Hematospermia, the presence of blood in the semen is a distressing symptom in sexually active men. However, it is usually a self-limiting condition. Although its exact incidence remains unclear, physicians should evaluate such patients closely and thoroughly because of the possibility of underlying malignancy, particularly prostate cancer. Still, confusion remains about how best to evaluate and treat men with hematospermia. The following paper reviews the literature to explain the cause, diagnostic work-up, and management strategies in patients with hematospermia.
