Patient's question:
Why is my husband's semen red? It's said to be epididymitis. How can one get this disease?Doctor's answer:
When experiencing hematospermia, first do not fear or panic. Do not burden yourself mentally and actively seek treatment. Hematospermia is generally not caused by tumors, and treatment is usually effective. If hematospermia occurs occasionally and no abnormalities are found during examination, it is often due to sudden congestion of the reproductive organs during sexual activity, leading to the rupture of small blood vessels and bleeding. This is known as transient hematospermia. In such cases, abstaining from sexual activity for several days may allow it to resolve on its own without the need for any treatment.If hematospermia persists, it is necessary to undergo examination. In most cases, it is caused by conditions such as seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, or posterior urethritis.
