Blood in the Semen
Finding blood in the semen, a possible but rare symptom of epididymitis, can be alarming. However, it's not normally cause for concern and is usually only temporary and self resolving.
The most common causes of blood in the semen are trauma, injuries, infections and inflammation. For the majority of men, the temporary disorder is painless. The blood may appear in the semen after ejaculation as a brownish-red color or pink tinge.
