Your microhematuria and hematospermia are separate issues which often do not have answers. Often work-ups for both turn out fruitless, but if they are unrevealing, then they do rule out major issues such as cancer, stones, significant kidney diseases. Most men find hematospermia quite upsetting but the chances are extremely great that there is nothing wrong.
The fact that you had gross hematuria last year and microhematuria now does concern me and does need an expert's evaluation. That you are seeing a urologist is the sensible thing to do at this point.
The generalized back pain does not sound urologic in origin. The testes pain with ejaculation will be addressed by your urologist. It does not suggest anything related to your other symptoms. If you have had a vasectomy, you may have developed sperm granulomas which can behave as you describe. They can be  treated with anti-inflammatory medication (such as ibuprofen) and, if troublesome enough, be removed surgically.
Please take Susan1022's advice and read my comments to her on March 12.
Hope that you feel better soon.

You might want to check out this forum. It specifically deals with Blood in the Semen/ Urine. It is more common than you think, but it still throws a few Urologists for a loop.

Hi Tony.  Check out my question to the urologist and his answer.  It may help to put your mind at ease.  Please let me know what your urologist says if it is any different from the urologist on this site. Thanks, and good luck!
