Patient's question:
What tests should be done at the hospital for hematospermia and prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have hematospermia, it is advisable to undergo tests for the seminal vesicles and prostate. Hematospermia often indicates seminal vesiculitis. If seminal vesiculitis is not treated promptly, it can affect fertility because 90% of semen consists of secretions from the seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles produce mucus, providing a carrier and nutrients (fructose) for sperm, which facilitates their transport and storage. When the seminal vesicles become inflamed, these secretions decrease, potentially impairing sperm vitality. During inflammation, the mucosa of the seminal vesicles becomes congested and edematous, and the glandular lumens may become obstructed due to inflammation or form abscesses. Inflammation can also spread to adjacent tissues, break through the seminal vesicles, and invade surrounding tissues. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a reputable urological hospital.
