Patient's question:
What tests should be done at the hospital for hematospermia and prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have hematospermia, it is advisable to undergo tests for the seminal vesicles and prostate. Hematospermia often suggests seminal vesiculitis. If seminal vesiculitis is not treated promptly, it can affect fertility because 90% of semen consists of secretions from the seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles produce mucus, providing a carrier and nutrients (fructose) for sperm, which facilitates sperm transport and storage. When the seminal vesicles are inflamed, these secretions decrease, which can impair sperm vitality. During inflammation, the mucous membrane of the seminal vesicles becomes congested and swollen, and the glandular ducts may become blocked due to inflammation or form abscesses. Inflammation can also spread to adjacent tissues, break through the seminal vesicles, and invade surrounding tissues. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal urological hospital.
