Haematospermia or haemospermia is a worrying symptom in the male population, but can be managed in many cases by primary care providers. As it is not often seen in clinics, it requires epidemiological knowledge and an appropriate clinical judgement to focus correctly on each case and to ensure the safety of our patients. The clinical history is the most important part of our intervention, and answering three questions, such as age, duration of bleeding and symptoms or risk factors may help in the diagnosis. More progress has been made in its diagnosis in recent years, due to determining the cause of the haematospermia in most cases.
