Hermatospermia

I noticed about a month ago that there were blood clots appearing in
my ejaculate.  I didn;t know what to make of it.  I read some web
pages and found out that it was called hermatospermia and that's not
supposed to be anything serious, but it's freaking me out.  It has
continued to happen and I am going to see a urologist this week.  BUt
i;m still freaked out.
    I am only 36 and havn't had any prostate problems before,
other than occasional difficulty urinating after sex.  Like maybe
every other month.  I have no fever, no pain, and no other symptons of
prostatitis.  It just won;t go away.  The only things are, the first
time it happened, I had gone for an unusually long time without
ejaculation, maybe two weeks or more.  And I have been drinking more
in the last few months.  So, is it possible that alcohol can bring
something like this on?  Or, being celibate for so long?  Why isn't it
going away?  If I just popped a blood vessel orsomething, wouldn't it
heal up in a month?  And should I leave it alone or try to ejaculate
more often to clear it out?  Will that just do more damage?
    Sorry to have so many questions but I'm worried.  thanks

Been there twice already.  A couple of things:

1) a sonogram showed that I had calcium crystals in my prostate (think
sharp edged things).

2) I've had bacterial infections of the prostate as well.

Result:  got off calcium suplements, got on Cipro for 4 weeks, and it
cleared up.  Ejaculate went black (!) when the bleeding stopped and I
was clearing out the detritus - expect it, and don't worry; it will
clear out.

end-result - with the subsequent scarring, my ejaculate is down to a few
drops, with the resulting loss in the fluid "rush" in orgasm; but the
neurla aspect remains OK.  YMMV.
