Blood in seminal fluid

I have had blood appear in my seminal fluid, what is the cause and what can be done about it?

Hi there. Blood in the semen may be caused by inflammation, infection, blockage, or injury anywhere along the male reproductive tract. It may indicate problem within the urethra, testicles, epididymis, or prostate. It is usually the result of inflammation of the seminal vesicles, and will almost always go away on its own otherwise certain tests may include urinalysis and culture, semen analysis and culture, and ultrasound of the seminal vesicles, prostate exam, PSA blood test,etcMinor injuries may be treated with rest, applying ice, and monitoring symptoms. Major injuries may require reconstructive surgery.Infections can often be treated with antibiotics, oral or intravenous. Blockages of the urinary tract system are treated with surgery. If cancerous tumors are the source of obstruction, radiation or chemotherapy may also be indicated. Take care.
