Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for almost two years. Usually, our sexual life is quite regular, with three to four times a week, and each session never lasts more than half an hour. It has always been normal until recently. Now, every time we have sex, I always feel a slight swelling and pain around my penis. In the past few days, after ejaculation, I noticed that the condom was filled with red fluid, which seems to be blood in the semen. It scared me.Doctor's answer:
Hello, hematospermia is one of the diseases of the male reproductive system. Its main symptom is the emission of red semen during sexual intercourse, commonly seen in modern medicine as seminal vesiculitis, which is relatively rare in clinical practice. This condition is often complicated with prostatitis, with its infection pathways primarily being direct extension from urethral and prostatic infections; is lymphatic infection and hematogenous infection. If the hematospermia occurs only occasionally and no specific changes are found upon examination, it may be due to the rupture of small blood vessels caused by sudden congestion and mechanical trauma during sexual intercourse. This transient hematospermia is even less cause for alarm, as it can be completely resolved by abstaining from sexual activity for one to two weeks. On the other hand, bleeding caused by inflammation tends to be intermittent but of short duration. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
