Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm currently doing well physically, and I've never had any male-related diseases before. But suddenly the other day, I noticed that my semen had blood in it! What's going on? What causes it? And how can I prevent it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, blood in the semen indicates hematospermia. The most likely causes of hematospermia are inflammation of the seminal vesicles, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or urethral trauma. Other less common causes include urinary tract tuberculosis, prostate tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, or congenital anomalies of the ureteral orifice. In the urethra, most patients with hematospermia have no symptoms. If accompanied by pain, it is more likely to be due to inflammation. If an elderly person exhibits this phenomenon, tumor should be considered. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
