TLDR Finasteride with antibiotics is more effective for treating hemospermia than antibiotics alone.

The study investigated the clinical effects of Finasteride in treating hemospermia by comparing two groups of patients: a control group of 26 patients treated with antibiotics alone and a treatment group of 30 patients treated with a combination of Finasteride and antibiotics for 1 month. Results showed that 93.3% of the treatment group experienced the disappearance of hemospermia compared to 57.7% in the control group, indicating a statistically significant difference. The study suggested that the mechanism of Finasteride's effectiveness might be related to its inhibition of VEGF synthesis and microvascular formation.
