Five days after the vasectomy I’ve had a semen discharge and I’ve been bleeding.

Q: I visited the urologist five days ago and had vasectomy. I had a self-defense incident today, and I saw red blood in the semen. The red was Ernie dark brown. I’m worried if it’s a side effect of surgery. Would it be okay?

A: The appearance of blood in semen usually returns to normal within a month. Don’t worry. It’s usually a problem that’s not related to surgery. Many men who have not had vasectomy visit the urologist due to these symptoms. Most of the time, the speritoneum is inflamed and blood is mixed into the speritoneum. This phenomenon occurs when you are very tired or after you catch a cold.
