Sudden changes in semen color may indicate inflammation

Normal male semen is milky white. If the ejaculation contains blood, which is what we call "hematospermia", it may be caused by inflammation in the body. Hematospermia usually occurs in men who have frequent sexual life.

Causes of Hematospermia

If it is just an occasional bleeding of small capillaries caused by sexual excitement or vigorous movements, it will generally recover on its own after a week of rest.

But it should be noted that the causes of hematospermia are generally:

(1) Inflammation of the reproductive tract: such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, epididymitis, spermatic cord prostate stones, and urethral bladder stones.

(2) Seminal tract obstruction and cyst.

(3) Tumors and vascular abnormalities.

(4) Systemic factors: hypertension, hemophilia.

(5) Reproductive tract injury, etc.

Hematospermia is mostly discovered by women, but sometimes it is difficult to tell whether the blood comes from men or women. In this case, the easiest way is to use a condom and ejaculate again to determine whether there is blood in the semen.

If you find blood in your semen again, we recommend that you go to the hospital for semen analysis and other related tests based on your specific situation. Follow the doctor's instructions based on the test results. I wish you good health!
