Patient's question:
Patient Age: The patient experienced blood in the semen during intercourseDoctor's answer:
Hello, the presence of blood in semen is known as hematospermia. It is typically pink, red, brownish-red, or streaked with blood. Depending on the nature of the lesion and the amount of blood present, it can manifest as gross hematospermia, blood clots in the semen, or microscopic hematospermia. Common causes include inflammation of the seminal vesicles and prostate, tuberculosis, filariasis, stones, and injury, with seminal vesiculitis being the most common. Certain tumors, such as cancer of the seminal vesicles or prostate, papillary tumor of the verumontanum, and benign prostatic hyperplasia, can also cause hematospermia. Varicocele and some hematologic disorders may also lead to hematospermia. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to have the cause thoroughly investigated and receive targeted treatment.
