What causes blood in the penis?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Blood = Erection: I am not sure what you mean. But, blood flow into the shaft of the penis is how an erection occurs. Now if you mean you are peeing blood then this is an urgent issue and you should not be online but in line at your doctor's office of the nearest urgent care center. Blood from the penis is an infection of some kind or worse.
