What happens when men bleed during masturbation?

Many men have masturbated. Masturbation is something men often do when their sexual needs are not met. Some men experience blood in their semen when they masturbate. What is going on?

Hematospermia is mostly a benign and self-limiting disease. Its etiology is mainly seen in seminal vesicle lesions, such as seminal vesicle tuberculosis, seminal vesicle tumor, etc., especially seminal vesiculitis is the most common. Although generally speaking, hematospermia has no special relationship with some major diseases, sometimes hematospermia may be a manifestation of certain systemic diseases or serious organic diseases. Some experts have proposed that hematospermia can be caused by the collateral circulation of hemorrhoids, venous plexus and prostate and glandular plexus in cirrhosis of the liver; there are also reports that hematospermia is caused by schistosomiasis, and live schistosome larvae have been found in semen; it has also been found that hematospermia is related to hypertension, seminal vesicle cancer, renal tuberculosis and early cancer. Therefore, when hematospermia occurs, especially when it does not heal after regular antibacterial treatment, some special examinations should be conducted to rule out other possible organic diseases. Only by finding the real cause of hematospermia and treating it accordingly can a satisfactory therapeutic effect be achieved.

The discharge of red semen during ejaculation and spermatorrhea is called hematospermia in traditional Chinese medicine. Normal semen is milky white, grayish white or light yellow, while hematospermia is pink, brownish red or has blood streaks. When observed under an optical microscope, red blood cells can be seen mixed in the semen.

Due to the different bleeding sites and blood volume, the appearance of hematospermia is also different: the blood from the urethral mucosa that is congested during erection is bright red and does not mix with the semen, like mixed blood threads. Hematospermia caused by various inflammations and trauma is evenly mixed, red to brown, this is because the blood has been stored for a long time and the color has changed. Since the semen accumulated in the seminal vesicle cannot be emptied in one ejaculation, even if it is treated promptly and fully, it will take some time for hematospermia to disappear.
