Patient's question:
What are the harms of seminal vesiculitis to men?Doctor's answer:
1. Hematuria: Epididymitis can present with hematuria, which may be initial or terminal, with initial hematuria after ejaculation being particularly common.2. Prostatitis: Epididymitis is closely related to prostatitis, as it can easily invade the prostate and cause prostatitis.
3. Hematospermia: The appearance of semen is pink, dark red, or coffee-colored, which may persist for several years and is often painless during ejaculation. It is most common in individuals aged 22–24, with approximately 40% of cases presenting with hematospermia as the initial symptom. In cases where cysts are combined with seminal vesicle stones, small stones may be expelled along with the bloody semen.
4. Urinary Difficulty: This is caused by cyst compression of the bladder neck and posterior urethra, with the severity of urinary difficulty depending on the size and location of the cyst. Domestic reports indicate that 9.1% of urinary difficulties are caused by seminal vesicle cysts. Patients with cyst volumes of 400–ml may experience urinary frequency, urgency, and other bladder irritation symptoms. Etc.
