Patient's question:
Does epididymitis cause hematospermia? What are the hazards of this condition? What symptoms will it cause?Doctor's answer:
Complications of Epididymitis1. Chronic Prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis is primarily characterized by symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, a burning sensation or discomfort in the urethra, the release of cloudy white fluid at the end of urination, and discomfort or aching in the perineum, lower abdomen, testicles, and urethra. The prostatic fluid shows an increase in white blood cells and a decrease in lecithin corpuscles.
2. Seminal Vesiculitis
The main clinical manifestations of seminal vesiculitis include hematospermia, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, discomfort during urination, and discomfort in the perineum. It is often coexistent with prostatitis.
In summary, after contracting the disease, whether acute or chronic, it is essential to undergo thorough treatment for epididymitis and engage in sexual activity moderately, as this can help prevent recurrence. Chronic epididymitis has almost no impact on sexual function. However, due to prolonged inflammation, the epididymis may harden. During sexual intercourse, when ejaculation reaches its climax, the epididymis and vas deferens contract to expel sperm, resulting in pain. At times, the pain may persist for a period after intercourse, interfering with sexual quality.
