What causes blood in semen?

As the pressure of life and work continues to increase, many men will suffer from male diseases, the most common of which is blood in semen. Most people think that this is just caused by overwork, but in fact, this is only a small part of the reasons. More reasons are caused by diseases, such as tumors, hemorrhagic diseases, etc. So, what are the reasons for blood in semen?

Seminal vesicle, prostate cancer, papilloma of the seminal follicle, benign prostatic hypertrophy or trauma can all cause rupture and bleeding of the capillaries in the reproductive tract, causing blood to mix with semen and produce hematospermia.

2. Seminal vesicle and prostate diseases

The most common causes include inflammation of the seminal vesicle and prostate, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, stones, and injuries.

Purpura leukemia, scurvy, etc. cause increased vascular fragility and changes in coagulation mechanism, leading to hematospermia.

4. Others

Varicose veins, long-term and repeated compression of the perineum, liver cirrhosis with increased portal vein pressure causing hemorrhoidal venous plexus to pass through the collateral prostatic venous plexus and increased pressure, dilation and rupture of the posterior urethral subepithelial vein next to the spermatic collateral can also cause hematospermia.

Killing sperm: During inflammation, there are a large number of cells and white blood cells in the seminal plasma, which may also be mixed with pus, and the viscosity will increase significantly. The ejaculated semen is not easy to liquefy, and the sperm cannot move and cannot be driven straight into the cervix. During inflammation, the volume of seminal plasma is too small, which is not conducive to the survival of sperm.

Decreased sexual function: If hematospermia is not cured for a long time or the treatment is not ideal, it will also lead to a decline in the condition of other parts of the body, and coupled with the psychological fear of the disease, it will affect the male sexual function.

Causes infertility: Due to the complex structure of the sexual organs that cause hematospermia, poor drainage can easily turn into a chronic condition, which can cause secondary vas deferens obstruction and edema and obstruction of the ejaculatory duct opening, leading to dry ejaculation with only ejaculation action but no semen discharge. This is the mechanism by which hematospermia causes infertility.

Blood in semen is a sign of a serious disease. We recommend that you pay close attention to it and seek early detection and treatment.
