Patient's question:
Semen is slightly light coffee-colored, discovered 15 days ago. What questions should I ask the expert?Doctor's answer:
Hello, blood in the semen is known as hematospermia. It is usually pink, red, brownish-red, or streaked with blood. Depending on the nature of the lesion and the amount of blood present, it can manifest as gross hematospermia, blood clots, or microscopic hematospermia.Causes: Inflammation of the seminal vesicles and prostate, tuberculosis, filariasis, stones, trauma, and other conditions can lead to hematospermia, with seminal vesiculitis being the most common cause. Some tumors, such as seminal vesicle or prostate cancer, papillary tumors of the verumontanum, and benign prostatic hyperplasia, can also cause hematospermia. Varicocele and certain hematologic disorders may also lead to hematospermia.
It is recommended that you actively seek medical attention to thoroughly investigate the cause and receive targeted treatment.
