Patient's question:
I've been having lower abdominal pain lately, sometimes also in the inner thigh area near the groin. There's noticeable urinary frequency and urgency, and I've also been experiencing low libido. Ejaculation is painful, and my semen contains blood clots. I read online that this might be seminal vesiculitis, but I don't know why I would have this inflammation. What are the causes of seminal vesiculitis?Doctor's answer:
After watching your explanation, prostatitis is mostly caused by infections from bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms, with Escherichia coli being the most common. The inflammation is often caused by bacteria spreading from the posterior urethra along the reverse direction of the vas deferens or by bacteria from epididymitis or prostatitis infiltrating the seminal vesicles through the vas deferens. Prostatitis often occurs concurrently with prostatitis, making it sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two. Neglecting personal hygiene, a weakened immune system, and concurrent inflammation of other organs in the body are the most important reasons for causing prostatitis.
