There are a variety of causes for hematospremia (blood in the ejaculate). They include benign and malignant disorders of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, spermatic cord, and ejaculatory duct system; urogenital infections; metastatic cancers; and vascular disorders. However, it is often impossible to know with certainty whether these conditions are the cause of hematospermia. The cause is idiopathic (i.e. without a clear cause) in a substantial proportion of patients, and the condition frequently resolves spontaneously.
I would discuss this with your urologist. Normal next step would be a transrectal ultrasound to evaluate the prostate - in your case, you are already having a biopsy. You may want to consider moving up the procedure date.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
