Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Semen symptoms. Some of these are listed below :

Physical examination
- Temperature
- Abdominal examination for enlarged and tender bladder due to urinary retention as complication of benign prostatic hypertrophy, prostate cancer or prostatitis
- Digital rectal examination - e.g. prostatitis has exquisitely tender, swollen, firm and warm prostate; benign prostatic hypertrophy of the prostate has an enlarged prostate; prostate cancer may have a hard, nodular and irregular gland.
Urine or ejaculate microscopy and culture - In prostatitis often has white cells and bacteria but may be normal. Urinary tract infection may complicate benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Semen symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

How long have you had the semen symptoms? - to establish if acute or chronic.
What particular semen symptoms do you have? - e.g. blood in the semen, inability to ejaculate, painful ejaculation (may suggest urethral stricture or prostate cancer), premature ejaculation. If the problem is with ejaculation, see Ejaculation_symptoms.
Past medical history? - e.g. recurrent urinary tract infections may suggest prostatitis which causes blood in the semen; many erection and ejaculation problems are associated with other physical conditions such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, multiple sclerosis, hormonal disorders ( hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, high prolactin levels), kidney disease, liver disease, prostate enlargement or cancer, Peyronie's disease.
Family history? - e.g. prostate cancer.
Sexual history? - to determine risk of sexually transmitted infection as a cause of prostatitis.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Semen symptoms) may include:

Symptoms of prostatitis? - e.g. fever, sweating, pain in perineum, pain in the back, pain above bladder, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, painful urination, possibly blood in urine and semen, variable degrees of urinary retention.
Symptoms of Benign prostatic hyperplasia (benign enlargement of the prostate)? - e.g. frequency of urination, urgency, need to pass urine at night, hesitancy of urination, slow interrupted flow, terminal dribbling of urine, acute retention of urine. Blood in the urine and ejaculate may occur from rupture of enlarged prostatic veins.
Symptoms of prostate cancer - e.g. may be without symptoms; may be similar to symptoms of Benign prostatic hypertrophy or also include bone pain from metastases, tiredness, weight loss and perineal pain.
