Blood in the semen will not impact in any way on your ability to father children, and you should not delay trying because of the blood. It is common and almost always meaningless (though scary). Chances are it is from the heavy lifting and straining of your weight lifting.

There is always a chance that this is a serious problem but in my experience and research online, this is the equivalent a nose bleed.
I am 46 and I had my first bloody ejaculate episode 18 year ago. I actually went to the ER over it. After seeing a urologist and ruling out a serious problem, the doctor said not to worry about it.
It still occurs about 1-2 times a year. It is never after a quickie. It seems to be related to prolonged sex or when I get very close to ejaculating but hold off for awhile. I am guessing that with all the extra blood down there during sex is somehow overloading the tiny vessles and they rupture. I have even had blood in my urine after prolonged foreplay and before ejaculating.
Once you get past the sight of the blood, the worst part is passing the clots. It is a very uncomfortable sensation but if you can relax, you can pass a large clot with almost no discomfort. I try to urinate soon after sex. If there is blood, the clots will be smaller and easier to manage.
For me it has not gotten worse or better in the last 18 years. On the up side I tell l my wife I need a quickie to check the plumbing.
Go to the doctor to rule out a serious problem. Then if it happens again you will know it is not serious.

It can't be treated at home. It is not normal. And yes, it may go away after a few days. And no, it's probably not cancer. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be making an appointment to see the urologist. Blood outside the body is a literal "big red flag" that you need some (medical) attention. Whether it's an injury or something more serious, you only get one reproductive system and it's better to find out what's going on, even if the answer is simple and reassuringly mundane, like too much bicycling.

One day it's a stern warning. Two times it's an issue in need of addressing. Blood outside the body is a literal "big red flag" that something untoward is going on. That it's recurrent for you, even with time inbetween, is something you should alert your current doctor to who is treating you for your conditions, but also time to visit a urologist. It is better to find out the reason is mundane, but foolish to ignore the warning of something potentially serious.

A urine culture will not show an infection if you had blood in your semen. They come from different plumbing. While athletic injury can cause blood in the semen or urine, it's never a good sign, and always worth checking out with a urologist (not a general physician). It's better to find out the answer is mundane and not worrisome, than to ignore this literal "big red flag" and miss something serious.

I had a blood in sperm, it happened two days ago. but there's no pain while i'm at it. I was wondering is it possible that it caused by exhaustion or lack of sleep? because I only sleep 3-4 hours a day in this past two weeks.

No, blood in semen is not caused by poor sleep habits. You need to see a urologist regardless of whether there was pain or not (usually there's not).

hi guys , it is really scary when this happens, about 5 month ago after making sex with my wife I saw blood all over the place when we finished making love , I thought the possibility of her menstrual cycle being not on time and it just came at that moment but the scary part was when I went to pee few minutes later , I noted that I could not the pee out as usually and suddenly several blood clogs came out with the urine and a stream off blood with it ! the strange thing was that the blood was not in he semen it was in the urine after making sex, I thought for a moment that may be a created a vacumme inside my wife vagina and her mestruation blood might had made her way in to my urinary track, but after visiting te doctor he told me that some times when men are in the 40's blood acumulates on the kidnenys tube at the place where they turn from the top of the kidney ,at that curve ,blood will acumulate an in time as you get older it will come off and go out on your urine, imagine a river ,when it turns on a curved bank, it will acumulate sand on the side off the current , it has been a while but this week happened again and always after making love when I urinate, that is the strange thing ! I have tried masturbating on my own and semmen is fine and I will pee after and urine is clear ! so I am see the doctor next week and really push to get some real in depth testing done because it just do not sound right , just bleading ! by the way at not time I have experience pain, disconfor,fever , nothing at all ,! that is the scary part that you are bleading and you do not know why ? if it helps any one this info ! sorry to be too graphic but thi is the only way to explain this king of situation, I wonder if my kidneys are giving up on me? thanks Raffman
