small amount of blood with/after ejaculation

I'm concerned about my boyfriend. Around August of '09 after sex he meantioned pain and then saw a small amount of blood in the condom. It wasn't runny, but more of a pea sized clotted amount. It then happened again with the same amount of blood during October '09. I know it's been 5 months since there was any blood, but every once in a while during sex he'll stop because he gets the same pain like before, but no blood.

He doesn't have any insurance right now, so I was wondering if any other guy out there has ever had this problem or one like it and if they can help me out. I'm really worried about my boyfriend so any help will be appreciated!

Hello,
The semen is produced mainly by the prostate gland. When the prostate contracts at the time of ejaculation, a vein may tear and blood mixes with the semen resulting in a brownish coloured semen which is known as hematospermia.  Reddish coloured semen indicates new and dark (brownish) discoloration indicates previous bleeding.  
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. This can be treated by antibiotics.

If the repeat happens then I suggest your boyfriend to get an evaluation done from a urologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
