Men must know, what disease does bloody semen indicate?

If there is blood in the semen, generally speaking, men will not notice it during sex, unless there is too much blood in the semen. Some men even think that it may be because of too much movement, causing the penis to be injured and bleeding. In fact, blood in semen may mean that you have a disease.

Blood in semen is common

Clinically, blood in semen is not uncommon. After detailed clinical and laboratory examinations, the vast majority of cases are controlled or cured after treatment, and only a very small number of tumor patients need further treatment. In addition to a small amount of sperm, the components of semen mainly come from the seminal vesicles, followed by the prostate. From an anatomical structure, the ejaculatory duct connected to the seminal vesicle opens at the urethral ridge of the posterior urethra, and there are 10-20 prostate gland openings around it.

Most of them are caused by inflammation

In fact, the seminal vesicle, prostate and posterior urethra are interconnected, and inflammation can easily spread from one to the other two. In addition, the wall of the seminal vesicle is very thin, and once it is congested, the cyst wall full of blood vessels is easy to bleed. Therefore, the common cause of blood in semen is first seminal vesiculitis, followed by prostatitis and posterior urethritis or posterior urethral congestion. It can also be caused by the spread of inflammation in other nearby organs, causing inflammation, swelling, congestion and bleeding of the seminal vesicle wall. Generally speaking, at least 70% of blood in semen of men under 30 years old is caused by inflammation.

Don't worry if it happens occasionally

If the blood in semen only happens occasionally and no specific changes are found after examination, it may also be caused by the rupture and bleeding of tiny blood vessels in certain tissues due to rapid congestion and mechanical collision during sexual intercourse. There is no need to panic about this kind of transient blood in semen, as it can be completely recovered by suspending sexual intercourse for one or two weeks. Bleeding caused by inflammation is mostly intermittent, but it does not last long. If the blood in semen persists and continues to worsen, the possibility of tumor cannot be ruled out. Individual patients with extensive bleeding tendency in other parts of the body are likely to have systemic blood system bleeding diseases, such as leukemia and thrombocytopenia, rather than the consequences of local lesions.
