Male, 53.Prostate is enlarged.PSA is 1.75. Get blood in the semen. Doctor rules out prostate cancer. Why this? -

I am 53. Since Oct 2004, I am getting blood in the semen. My prostate is enlarged. Not abnormal. DRE and Sonography do not suggest prostate cancer. PSA is 1.75. I was affected by some form of STD when I was 22. VDRL was1 in 10. Treated with penadur LA6. Why blood in semen? I am not diabetic nor do I suffer from Hypertension. Please advise me.

The fact that you have blood in your semen and you do not have an active infection can be a sign of prostate cancer. You can still have prostate cancer even if your PSA is low. DRE and U/S are insensitive and ultimately the gold standard is biopsy.

blood in semen is NOT normal under any circumstances. Please see a urologist quickly. PSA is not definitve. if your urologist told you not to worry, please get a second opinion and a biopsy ASAP.. Testicular CA cannot be ruled out either so run, don t walk, to nearest urologist!!

Get a second opinion.

The answers you re getting about another doc are very good. I had low psa, negative dre, negative ultrasound. After biopsy there was 60% of each of 6 needles cancer with a Gleason of 8. Rise in psa was the key. Keep an eye on it. The blood is an indication of something. look until you find it.

im 56 just had tuna therapy for enlarged prostate blood in semen not good see another doc. i had no cancer this is a less invasive way to reduce the size if its very large my was and had been for many yrs was tired of going to bathrroom all the time, this has helped but i did get retrograde ejculation from it semen goes into bladder and not out the penis
