Seeing blood in the semen can be quite frightening. Men with this symptom are often asked several questions by the doctor, including:

how many times blood has been seen in the semen

when the bleeding started

if there is blood in the urine or bleeding in other areas of the body

if the man has any pain

how often the man has had sex recently

if the man has ever had a sexually transmitted disease

what kind of sexual practices the man engages in

Other questions may be asked as well.
