Causes of Hematospermia

The known causes of hematospermia are:

  1. infections of the prostate gland, called prostatitis. Prostatitis may be acute, chronic, or nonbacterial.
  2. infections of the seminal vesicles
  3. infections of the urethra.
  4. urethral strictures, or narrowing in an area of the urethra.
  5. certain sexual habits, such as prolonged abstinence from or lack of sex or unusually frequent sex
  6. bleeding or blood clotting problems, such as hemophilia A or hemophilia B.
  7. Clotting problems can also occur in men who are taking too much of the blood-thinning drug warfarin.
  8. tumors or cancer, a rare cause. The cancer may be in the prostate, seminal vesicles, or urethra.
