What is hematospermia?

We all know that men's semen can reflect their health status, especially for men with premature ejaculation or prostate disease. If their condition is serious, they may have blood in their semen. If they have sex with women at this time, they may be infected with gynecological diseases. So what is blood in semen?

Reasons for blood in semen include:

1. Diseases of the seminal vesicle and prostate: Inflammation, tuberculosis, stones, injury, and prostatic hypertrophy of the seminal vesicle and prostate can all cause rupture of capillaries in the reproductive tract and the appearance of hematospermia.

2. Tumors: such as tumors of the seminal vesicle and prostate, papilloma of the seminal vesicle, etc., can cause rupture of capillaries in the reproductive tract and mixing of blood into semen.

3. Hemorrhagic diseases: such as thrombocytopenic purpura, blood diseases, scurvy, leukemia, etc. can cause increased vascular fragility, coagulation mechanism disorders and bleeding, leading to hematospermia.

4. Others: Varicocele, nonspecific proliferative inflammation of the posterior urethra, excessive masturbation and sexual life, etc., can all lead to damage to the capillaries in the reproductive tract and the appearance of hematospermia. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for detailed examination and symptomatic treatment

If the semen is all or partially light red, or brown, it is a sign of blood. Normal semen should not contain blood.

The causes of hematospermia include:

(1) Inflammation of the reproductive tract: such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, epididymitis, spermatic cord and prostate stones, and urethral bladder stones.

(2) Seminal tract obstruction and cyst.

(3) Tumors and vascular abnormalities.

(4) Systemic factors: hypertension, hemophilia.

(5) Reproductive tract damage. It is recommended that you go to a professional hospital for treatment, avoid excessive sexual intercourse, keep your bowels open, and find out the cause of the disease through scientific testing. Targeted treatment based on the cause can completely cure it.

In addition to the small amount of sperm, 60% of semen comes from the seminal vesicles and 40% comes from the prostate. The prostate gland is hard and not easy to bleed, while the wall of the seminal vesicle is very thin and it is easy to bleed once it becomes inflamed and congested. Therefore, the most common cause of hematospermia is seminal vesiculitis, which may also be caused by the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs, leading to inflammation, swelling, congestion and bleeding of the seminal vesicle wall. Bleeding caused by inflammation is often intermittent but does not last long. If the patient has a generalized bleeding tendency, it is likely that he has a systemic bleeding disorder, such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, etc.
