Patient's question:
Hello everyone, is the blood in the semen severe? It's the first time this has happened, and it occurred for the first time tonight. Is it severe? Please help me answer this question. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Initial consideration is prostatitis. The primary route of infection is direct spread from the urethra and prostate. Secondary routes include lymphatic infection and hematogenous infection. The causative agents include viruses, bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and parasitic infections. It is recommended to perform urogenital color Doppler ultrasound, prostatic fluid, and semen tests to assist in identifying the cause and treat accordingly. For recurrent hematospermia, cystoscopy can be performed to examine for hypertrophy of the verumontanum, varicoceles in the posterior urethra, and tumors.
