Bro, I actually went through this exact same thing last year and freaked out completely. Turns out a stone was irritating my urinary tract and prostate area, which caused the blood. Definitely go see a urologist, they will run a few tests and sort it out.
I can completely understand how shocking and emotionally draining it is to see that. It made me feel so anxious and depressed for weeks thinking it was something fatal. It can indeed happen due to stone irritation, but please talk to a doctor to put your mind at ease.

Oh god, I would be so terrified if I saw that, my anxiety would go through the roof thinking of all possible worst-case scenarios. But yes, stones can cause local swelling and bleeding. Please get it checked by a professional so you can sleep peacefully at night.

I totally get it, seeing blood where it shouldn't be is highly alarming and can cause a lot of panic. Kidney stones can sometimes cause irritation in the prostate or urethra, leading to this. Please be gentle with yourself and get a doctor to check it out.
My uncle told me to drink barley water and tender coconut to cool down the body, but seeing blood in semen is something you should definitely show to a doctor. It can sometimes happen due to the pressure or inflammation from a kidney stone. Please get a proper medical opinion.
