A member asked:

3 days following prostate needle biopsy, semen is very red. is it a good idea to increase the frequency of ejaculation to flush out the blood faster?

Let it be: The bloody semen will clear out on its own. You may masturbate/ejaculate if you wish as it will neither help nor hinder the healing process.
