Greetings.

 

The commonest cause of blood in semen is prostatitis (prostate infection). A course of antibiotics is usually able to take care of it. Sometimes a fragile blood vessel in the prostate gets ruptured and that gives blood in semen. This is a self limiting cause and does not need any treatment as it resolves on its own. Very rarely a benign prostate hyperplasia may give blood in semen, but in your age group that does not occur. Please read this authentic resource on it;
