Patient's question:
Does hematospermia affect fertility? I've been married for a long time and haven't had any children. During my last check-up, I was told I have this condition. Is it very impactful on me? Thank you for the doctor's guidance.Doctor's answer:
Hematospermia is a common condition in urology, and some people still lack a certain understanding of it. So, does hematospermia affect fertility? This is a common question in everyone's mind. Only by having a basic understanding of the harm of hematospermia can timely treatment be provided. Does hematospermia affect fertility? Dr. Huang Minli from Shanghai Changjiang Hospital explains that hematospermia is more common in young and middle-aged men aged 25-40, and it is a common urological condition. Patients often discover blood in their semen during masturbation or sexual intercourse, and this phenomenon can last for a long time, often causing mental tension, increased psychological burden, or even fear. Many men feel frightened when they find blood in their semen. Does hematospermia affect a patient's fertility? First, we need to analyze the causes of hematospermia. If it is caused by severe seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis, then these conditions themselves may have a certain impact on fertility, but this impact is usually very minor.When answering the question of whether hematospermia affects fertility, experts from Shanghai Changjiang Hospital say that most patients with seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis can still conceive normally. Most patients with seminal vesiculitis, or those with a little blood in their semen, generally do not affect their fertility. Therefore, there is no need to worry about this aspect. Of course, whether you can conceive if you have seminal vesiculitis is something no one can guarantee. A simple method is to conduct a basic analysis of your semen to check the density and function of your sperm, which can then determine whether your fertility is normal.
