A member asked:

Was with my gf.had a prolonged erection without ejaculation yesterday, today i masturbated, saw blood in whole semen, im scared, serious?i hav prostatitis

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: I'm glad you have somebody special. This happens to many men from time to time, especially after prolonged arousal. Nobody really understands why, but it's not something to worry about unless you have other symptoms / signs over at least two weeks.
