Patient's question:
During sexual activity, we experienced symptoms of hematospermia. I heard that the main symptom of seminal vesiculitis is hematospermia. Am I suffering from seminal vesiculitis? Please advise the doctor what I need to do.Doctor's answer:
Hello, most of the semen comes from the seminal vesicles, with a small portion coming 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. Other less common causes include urinary tract tuberculosis, prostate tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, or congenital anomalies of the ureteral orifice.Most patients with blood in semen have no symptoms in the urethra. If accompanied by pain, it is more likely to be due to inflammation. If an elderly person exhibits this symptom, it should be considered a possible tumor. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek medical attention at a regular hospital to diagnose the condition and receive targeted treatment. Wishing you good health!
