Blood in the semen has a variety of causes - most of them benign.
However, various infections and cancers can lead to blood in the semen - and should be evaluated.
A urinalysis can be done to look for infection. I would also consider imaging the prostate with a transrectal ultrasound to ensure there is no evidence of cancer. Finally, a cystoscopy can be considered to image and evaluate the bladder.
These options can be discussed with your personal urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
