Patient's question:
Recently, after a few intimate moments with my wife, I noticed a slight trace of blood in my semen. I want to specially state that I am using a condom and currently do not want to have children. I would like to ask the experts what could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculate containing blood is called hematospermia. Blood components should not be present in normal semen. The causes of hematospermia include: (1) Inflammation of the reproductive tract: such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, epididymitis, prostatic calculi of the spermatic cord, urethral and bladder calculi. (2) Obstruction and cysts of the seminal tract. (3) Tumors and vascular abnormalities. (4) Systemic factors: hypertension, hemophilia. (5) Injury to the reproductive tract. It is recommended that you visit the department of reproductive infections in the hospital, avoid excessive sexual activity, maintain regular bowel movements, and undergo scientific testing to identify the cause. Targeted treatment based on the cause can completely cure the condition.
