What is the cause of a small amount of blood in the semen?

For male friends, the disease that they least want to face is the disease that occurs in the reproductive organs. Some male friends have encountered a small amount of blood in their semen. Many male friends who have this situation are very worried about this situation because they don’t know what disease this situation is. So, what is the matter with a small amount of blood in semen?

First, what is the reason for a small amount of blood in semen? According to the patient mentioned above, the most common reasons for blood in semen are prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. The seminal vesicle is connected to the posterior urethra through the ejaculatory duct. Since the wall of the seminal vesicle is thin, once it becomes inflamed and congested, the wall of the vesicle filled with blood vessels is prone to bleeding. Prostatitis is a common disease in men. Inflammation of the prostate can easily affect the adjacent seminal vesicle and can also cause bleeding in the seminal vesicle. The secretion of the seminal vesicle is one of the main components of semen. Bleeding of the seminal vesicle makes its secretion stained with blood. When it is discharged from the body with semen, there is blood in semen.

Second, other reasons for blood in semen: adolescents may have transient blood in semen. This is a normal physiological reaction. Men are in the stage of sexual development during puberty, and their sexual desire is strong during this period. Don't be alarmed if there is blood in semen. Many cases can heal themselves without treatment. Blood in semen may also be caused by seminal vesicle cysts, tuberculosis, tumors, schistosomiasis, portal hypertension, systemic blood system diseases, etc. This requires patients to pay more attention and require systematic treatment to achieve a cure. Blood in semen is a common disease in men's medicine. If you have this kind of situation, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause and treat it accordingly. It should be noted that you should not put too much pressure on yourself after discovering the symptoms. Adjusting your mentality will also be of great help to the treatment.

What is the reason for a small amount of blood in semen? Blood in semen is medically called hematospermia, and most of the time it is caused by seminal vesiculitis. We know that in the posterior urethra of the human body, behind the prostate, grows a pair of tubular glandular tissues called seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles are connected to the posterior urethra through the ejaculatory duct. Since the walls of the seminal vesicles are thin, once they become inflamed and congested, or if there are lesions such as stones, the cystic walls full of blood vessels are prone to bleeding. The secretion of the seminal vesicles is one of the main components of semen. Bleeding of the seminal vesicles causes the secretion to be stained with blood. If it is discharged from the body along with the semen, hematospermia occurs. Due to the close anatomical proximity of the seminal vesicles and the prostate, these two organs are often a pair of brothers in distress when they are inflamed, that is, seminal vesiculitis often occurs in combination with chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis can also cause hematospermia. Its mechanism is similar to that of seminal vesiculitis. Since prostatic fluid is another important component of semen, the prostate is congested and exudes due to inflammation; frequent sexual intercourse causes capillary rupture; and the strong contraction and relaxation of prostatic fluid during ejaculation can cause blood in the prostatic fluid, and then the semen is also stained with blood. Similar to the situation of chronic prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia can also cause hematospermia.
