Patient's question:
I am usually very busy with my studies, but I have to have sex with my girlfriend every day. However, recently after I ejaculated, I found that my semen was very little and it seemed to have blood in it. I was very worried that I might be sick. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was tuberculosis of the male reproductive system. I was very confused, wondering how I could get this disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, tuberculosis of the male reproductive system is caused by① Hematogenous infection: The onset of male reproductive system tuberculosis is the same as that of renal tuberculosis, both being secondary lesions of tuberculosis foci in other organs of the body. Mycobacteria invade the male reproductive system through the bloodstream.
② Urinary tract infection: On the basis of renal tuberculosis, mycobacteria invade the male reproductive system through urine, making it also a secondary lesion of renal tuberculosis. At the same time, the more severe the renal tuberculosis lesions, the higher the chance of developing male reproductive system tuberculosis.
