What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, possible diagnoses include:
-
Hematospermia: This is the medical term for blood in the semen. It can be alarming to see, but it's often not a serious problem, especially in men under 40. In many cases, no cause can be found. However, in some cases, it can be a sign of a medical condition that needs treatment, such as an infection, inflammation, or a blockage in the reproductive system.
- Treatment depends on the underlying cause. If an infection is found, antibiotics may be prescribed. If a blockage is found, surgery may be needed.
-
Groin Strain or Pull: This is a common injury, especially in people who participate in sports that require a lot of running or jumping. It occurs when the muscles in the groin area are stretched or torn. This can cause pain, especially when walking or moving.
- Treatment usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Pain relievers may also be recommended.
What you can do
-
Schedule an appointment with your doctor: They can perform a physical examination and possibly order tests to determine the cause of the blood in your semen.
-
Rest and take care of your groin: If the pain returns, try to rest and avoid activities that make it worse. Applying an ice pack to the area for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours can also help reduce inflammation and pain.
-
Stay hydrated: This can help flush out any potential infections and keep your urinary system healthy.
What you should look out for
- If the blood in your semen continues or gets worse
- If you develop other symptoms, such as pain during urination, fever, or lower back pain
- If your groin pain returns or gets worse
