Abstract
Hematospermia is a distressing disorder in sexually active men resulting in great concern to the patient. We report an
unusual case of hematospermia with an atypical presentation, involving a 54-year-old man presented with acute
urinary retention after sexual intercourse. Although the causes are widely known, arteriovenous malformation as the
cause of this disorder has not much been reported in the literature. Transcatheter embolization of internal pudendal
artery is a promising option for hematospermia caused by arterial fistula or bleeding.
