What disease causes a man to bleed from his penis

this type of bleeding usually comes from the prostate gland. It is

due to a tear in one of the fragile veins of the prostate. The prostate

is the organ that produces the majority of the seminal fluid in response

to sexual stimulation. When the prostate contracts at the time of

ejaculation, a vein may tear and blood mixes with the semen

(hematospermia). Red blood indicates new and dark discoloration indicates

previous bleeding. Old clots may also be mixed with the semen. Prostatic bleeding often is associated with gross

blood during urination. This typically will occur with initiation or at

the end of urination (as opposed to being throughout the entire stream).

With the latter, it is often manifest as spots of blood on the underwear

or pajamas. Irritation of the gland (prostatitis) can also cause it

to become inflamed and predisposed to bleed. Some factors leading to

inflammation include too frequent or too infrequent ejaculation, sexual

arousal without ejaculation, withdraw at the time of ejaculation,

excessive alcohol or spicy foods, prolonged sitting or bike riding, etc.

The prostate may then become secondarily infected and require antibiotic

therapy for cure. Sometimes as the prostate gradually enlarges with age,

friable veins called varices develop on its surface. These are also

prone to tearing. In such cases, Proscar is sometimes prescribed to
