is it normal to have blood in semen after a long 15-hour nonstop flight?
I sometimes get that.... the first that it happened, my lady friend and I
freaked out and went to the emergency room near the airport. The ER
doctors checked me out and said I was fine.
After I returned home, I went to my regular doctor who did the usual
test.... physically examined my private areas... and ordered other
additional tests.(blood, urine, ultrasound, etc)A couple of weeks later,
she called me and I went in... she basically told me that I was perfectly
fine. I've had the same doctor for 20 years. Not that I didn't trust her,
but I went behind her back and made an appointment with an urology
specialist. I chose this doctor because he was also the professor at a
large medical school. It was out-of-network and I ended up paying
nearly $700. He performed almost the same tests. Again.. nothing
was found. That was 4 years ago. By the way the blood in semen
always goes away after about a week or so after the flights. It NEVER
happens if I don't fly on a really long flight... usually 15 hours nonstop.
Now whenever I fly really long nonstop flights, I get this problem.
I still get regular check-ups 6 months or so from my regular doctor.
I mentioned to her that I was still having this problem. She again
checked me, but sill nothing to be found. I went back to the urology
specialist last month... and also nothing. He said it was normal for
some men to have this issue, but it's nothing to be concerned about.
Am I being paranoid? I'm thinking about getting a 3rd opinion. I
know nurses who know people at Mayo and Cleveland Clinic and
they shoudl be pretty good, right? I'm asking right now because it
happened to me again last week after a 14-hour flight. (actually,
it was 14-nonstop, then connecting to a 7-hour nonstop)
