Can a man with blood in his semen infect a woman with inflammation?

The condition of a man's semen reflects his physical health to a large extent. Sometimes the color and viscosity of semen need special attention. Some men have blood in their semen, which is commonly known as hematospermia, which means that there are some problems in the male body. Many people worry about whether it will have any impact if a man has hematospermia during sex. So, can hematospermia spread inflammation?

1. Causes of hematospermia in men

Generally speaking, the semen of healthy men is translucent and milky white like egg white. However, for men who have not ejaculated for a long time, the semen may be light yellow and thicker. In addition, when there is inflammation in the male reproductive tract, the semen may be yellow, and a large number of pus balls can be seen under a microscope.

If you find that the semen is pink after ejaculation, or there are blood streaks in the semen, this is mostly caused by inflammation of the seminal vesicle. Inflammation of the seminal vesicle causes congestion and edema of the seminal vesicle, and in severe cases, it causes capillaries to rupture and bleed. When the secretions of the seminal vesicle and semen pass through the seminal vesicle, they will mix with the blood to produce "hematospermia". In addition to seminal vesiculitis being the most common cause of hematospermia, prostatitis also often affects the seminal vesicle and produces hematospermia.

At this time, you must stop having sex and take antibiotics and hemostatic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and the condition can usually be controlled.

Of course, tumors of the seminal vesicle and prostate can also cause hematospermia, but generally speaking, cancerous hematospermia is characterized by persistence and gradual aggravation, which is different from transient hematospermia caused by inflammation. In addition, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis or systemic blood system diseases can occasionally cause hematospermia. When hematospermia occurs, the semen is red or light red, and a large number of red blood cells can be seen under a microscope. Some of them appear brown or soy sauce-colored to the naked eye because the semen contains a large number of red blood cells. This must not be taken lightly, and you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

2. Can blood in semen be transmitted to women?

Although seminal vesiculitis itself is not contagious, it is worth noting that other complications caused by seminal vesiculitis may be contagious, such as female vaginitis, cervicitis and other symptoms. Therefore, if a man suffers from seminal vesiculitis, he must refrain from sexual intercourse. When having sex, use condoms as much as possible. At the same time, you should also pay attention to disinfecting the items you have used in time to prevent infection to the woman or reinfection yourself. Since seminal vesiculitis is mostly caused by bacterial infection, and there are many ways of infection, retrograde infection through the urethra is one of the ways. Bacteria invade the seminal vesicle from the urethra and vas deferens to cause seminal vesiculitis. Then in turn, bacteria may also infect women through the urethra, causing gynecological inflammation in the patient's sexual partner.
