Patient's question:
I recently started dating a girlfriend, and later when we had sex, I kept feeling some blood streaks. Upon closer inspection, I realized they were in the semen I released. They were pink in color, but not much, and there was no unpleasant odor. I was very worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello! The principles for treating hematospermia are basically the same (with special treatments required for conditions like tumors or tuberculosis). During acute bleeding, sexual activity should be avoided. Even after hematospermia disappears, rest for 1-2 weeks is still recommended. After recovery, sexual intercourse should not be too frequent or intense. Avoid alcohol and spicy, irritating foods to prevent exacerbating congestion. Do not ride long distances on bicycles or horses.Once a week, seminal vesicle and prostate massage can help expel inflammatory secretions. Take warm sitz baths once daily for 15-20 minutes, with water temperature at 41-42°C (30-day cycle, followed by a 10-day rest before the next cycle). Antibiotics such as penicillin, gentamicin, and kanamycin (administered via intramuscular injection or local ion) are also necessary. Symptomatic treatments like vitamin K and Anluoxue are equally important.
Physical therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatments can also be used. If posterior urethritis occurs, posterior urethral medication instillation therapy may be performed. With proper treatment, recovery will not affect sexual activity or fertility, so there is no need to worry excessively. However, do not be complacent, as delayed treatment may lead to fertility issues.
