Blood Clot in Urine Following Ejaculation

I am 73 years with bph several years now.  I take Terazosin  5mg caps, one
in morning and one at bedtime.
Last week I stimulated myself to an ejaculation then about an hour later
urinated.  The stream came out forcefully and with it some blood and a clot
the size of a pinky fingernail.  This was a shocker to have a clot spurting
out.  I have had kidney stones where the urine was bloody until I passed the
stone but this totally unexpected clot I can only surmise came from the
region of the prostate.  Sometimes when I ejaculate the prostate seems to
convulse painfully.
If anyone else has had this experience please let me know.  I will be seeing
my urologist in a few days about it. Last time I saw him a month ago the
psa's were about 2.5 and the digital exam showed no hard spots and my urine
was negative and clear.
Any response would be appreciated.

Your experience is common.  You have had a lot of trauma to your prostate.
When you ejaculate the prostate tissue contracts ejecting fluid.  This
contraction can cause tiny tears in already damaged tissue.  The blood will
pool and clot.  I learned all this from my doctor a couple of weeks ago
after I passed urine that looked like red wine and a few clots. I had a PVP
a few years ago and recently had a kidney stone removed.  I'm 67.  My doc
told me not to worry about occasionally passing blood but if it suddenly
gets worse or more frequent consult a urologist.

BTW I seem to bleeding less frequent as time passes.  I think it's slowly
healing in there.
