After oral sex, my boyfriend started
bleeding from his penis. This is the 2nd
time this has happened. The first time,
we went to the ER & the doctor said
this was normal. Well, this is definitely
not 'normal.' Whether the blood be little
or great. He also said that while
urinating this morning, that he bled some
more. What can this be from or what
causes this?

Blood in the ejaculation, called
hematospermia, is usually a benign and
self-limiting condition. There is usually
no treatment needed. However, it is
possible that this blood could be from an
abnormality such as prostatitis, prostate
cancer or other problem and so should be
checked by a urologist.

Blood In Urine Posted: 11-08-07 21:03pm
Causes for blood in the urine:
* Blood in the urine can come from any
condition that results in infection,
inflammation, or injury to the urinary
system.
* Typically, microscopic hematuria
indicates damage to the upper urinary
tract (kidneys), while visible blood
indicates damage to the lower tract
(ureters, bladder, or urethra). But this
is not always the case.
* The most common causes in people
younger than 40 years of age are kidney
stones or urinary tract infections.
* These may also cause hematuria in
older people, but cancers of the kidney,
bladder, and prostate become a more common
concern in people older than 40 years of
age.
* Several conditions causing hematuria
may exist at the same time.
* Some causes of hematuria are
serious, others are not. Your healthcare
provider will perform tests to help tell
the difference.
The well-known causes of blood in the
urine include the following:
* Kidney stones
* Infections of the urinary tract or
genitals
* Blockage of the urinary tract,
usually the urethra - by a stone, a tumor,
a narrowing of the opening (stricture), or
a compression from surrounding structures
* Cancer of the kidney, bladder, or
prostate
* Kidney disease
* Blood clotting disorders
* Injury to the upper or lower urinary
tract, as in a car accident or a bad fall
* Medications - Antibiotics [for
example, rifampin (Rifadin)], analgesics
such as aspirin, anticoagulants [blood
thinners such as warfarin, (Coumadin)],
phenytoin (Dilantin), quinine (Quinerva,
Quinite, QM-260)
* Benign (noncancerous) enlargement of
the prostate - known as benign prostatic
hypertrophy (BPH), a common condition in
older men
* Chronic diseases such as diabetes,
hypertension, and sickle cell anemia
* Viral infections
* Inflammation of the kidney - usually
of unknown cause
* Strenuous exercise, especially
running - results from repeated jarring of
the bladder
