My boyfriend bled from his penis

by Dr. Sarah Brewer

question
Recently, while having sex my boyfriend bled a small amount from his penis. Is this normal?

answer
Bleeding from the end of the penis can be due to a number of different causes, including a small tear in the foreskin, but it can also be due to infection or inflammation. It is a good idea for your boyfriend to take a urine sample to his doctor to have it checked. His doctor will probably also want to examine his testicles to ensure there are no obvious lumps, and may suggest sending swabs to check for chlamydia infection. In most cases of one-off bleeding, no obvious cause is found, but it is best to be checked, just in case.
