Patient's question:
My boyfriend always has blood in his semen after we split the cost, but he says it doesn't hurt and he doesn't feel anything. He's very worried, fearing he might have some kind of disease. After all, they're still young, and he's really in a state of panic.Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many causes of hematospermia, but most are related to reproductive tract infections, such as seminal vesiculitis and urethritis.1. Seminal Vesiculitis: The most common symptom of seminal vesiculitis is hematospermia. Additionally, it may be accompanied by urinary symptoms such as dysuria, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and incomplete urination, or symptoms like pain during ejaculation, perineal pain, testicular pain, and external genital pain.
2. Prostatic Urethralitis: Chronic prostatic urethralitis can easily lead to prostatomegaly, causing difficulty in urination and pain during ejaculation. Due to congestion and edema of the prostatic urethral tissue, the mucosa is prone to rupture and bleeding, especially during sexual activity, making hematospermia more likely to occur.
3. Urethritis: Inflammation of the urethra, particularly prostatic urethralitis, can result in hematospermia, characterized by blood in the anterior part of the semen.
