LESS COMMON URINARY SYMPTOMS Haematospermia LESS COMMON URINARY SYMPTOMS Haematospermia This refers to blood, which can be bright red or a brown colour, in semen. It is most commonly due to benign inflammatory change in the prostate or TB. A digital rectal examination (DRE) should be performed alongside a prostate-specific anti gen (PSA) test. A transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate should be considered. In most cases, haematospermia is self-limiting.
