Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Hello; In the past month, there have been several instances of blood in my semen during ejaculation. What could be the cause? Thank you!!!
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The common causes of hematospermia include: (1) diseases of the seminal vesicle and prostate, such as seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, tuberculosis of the prostate and seminal vesicle, schistosomiasis, calculi, and injuries. (2) tumors, such as cancer of the seminal vesicle and prostate, papillary tumor of the verumontanum, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. (3) blood disorders, such as purpura, scurvy, and leukemia. (4) other conditions, such as varicocele of the seminal vesicle, chronic and repeated pressure in the perineum, portal hypertension with cirrhosis leading to increased pressure in the vein plexus via collateral prostate plexus, and rupture of subepithelial veins of the posterior urethra near the verumontanum.If you experience hematospermia, you should seek medical examination in the urology department or male medicine department of a hospital. Ultrasound and CT scans can help identify lesions in the prostate and seminal vesicle. After a definitive diagnosis, consider taking traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine.
