Patient's question:
Ejaculation with blood, have been taking cephalexin for nearly a week but still experiencing ejaculation with blood. A week ago, during masturbation, I discovered ejaculation with blood. I might have been masturbating too frequently recently!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, blood in semen indicates hemospermia. It is generally more common in individuals with frequent sexual activity. Most of the semen comes from the seminal vesicles, with a smaller portion originating from the vas deferens. The cause of blood in semen may be due to hyperplasia of the mucous membrane of the seminal vesicles. Other possible causes include inflammation of the seminal vesicles, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or urethral trauma. Less common causes include urinary tract tuberculosis, prostate tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, or congenital anomalies of the ureteral orifice. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a reputable hospital as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and receive timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
