Thank you for the clarification of symptoms versus sign Dr. Krongrad. It seems easy to mistakenly lump those two together.<br />
<br />
Fortunately the blood appears to have been a one-time occurance, and I hope it stays that way. The wide-range of symptoms and signs I already have are too much for me to handle!

Cystoscopy does sometimes cause some mild hematuria: Blood in the urine.I have never seen it cause hematospermia.<br />
<br />
Technical note: A symptom is something you feel (nausea, itch) and a sign is something you see (palor, rash). Hematospermia is a sign, not a symptom.

Its probably from the cystoscopy

Hematospermia is a <b><i>nonspecific</i></b> and <b><i>generally</i></b> <b><i>asymptomatic</i></b> sign that usually occurs in younger men.<br />
<br />
Hematospermia often leads to prostate biopsy, which on only one occasion that I am aware of led to a diagnosis of prostate cancer. That was in a 30-year old man -- who worked in a prostate biopsy pathology lab, of all places -- who we later discovered had a mild form of thallasemia, a bleeding disorder.

Hematospermia often leads to prostate biopsy, which on only one occasion that I am aware of led to a diagnosis of prostate cancer. That was in a 30-year old man -- who worked in a prostate biopsy pathology lab, of all places -- who we later discovered had a mild form of thallasemia, a bleeding disorder. Indeed, after his LRP (see below), he kept bleeding, which is when we diagnosed his thallasemia, and this caused him to recall that he had had prolonged bleeding after dental cleaning, minor bumps ... etc. In any event, I did his LRP for what turned out to be multifocal Gleason 6 adenocarcinoma. He's about two years out now and doing well.<br />

Your hematospermia is unexplained. It's not clear that it's a sign of prostatitis.
