Patient's question:
What should I do if I have hematospermia?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Normal semen is milky white. If it suddenly turns blood-red, it definitely contains blood. The reason is that there is a pathological change in some part of the spermatic pathway, such as bleeding, inflammation, or even a tumor.Advice: The wall of the seminal vesicle is very thin. Once it becomes congested, the blood-vessel-filled vesicle wall is easily prone to bleeding. The most common cause of blood in semen is seminal vesiculitis, followed by prostatitis and posterior urethritis or congestion of the posterior urethra. Relevant secretion tests can be conducted.
The treatment principles for blood in semen are generally the same (with special treatment required for conditions like tumors or tuberculosis). During acute bleeding, sexual activity should be avoided. After the blood in semen disappears, rest for 1-2 weeks, and sexual activity should not be too frequent or intense afterward. Avoid alcohol and spicy, irritating foods to prevent worsening congestion. Do not ride long distances on bicycles or horses. Weekly massage of the seminal vesicle and prostate (once a week) can help expel inflammatory secretions. Antibiotics such as penicillin, gentamicin, and kanamycin may be used.
With proper treatment, recovery will not affect sexual activity or fertility, so there is no need to worry too much.
