What tests should be done if there is blood in the sperm?

Hematospermia will directly affect male fertility, and now more and more men are prone to such symptoms, so we must actively do examinations and understand the cause clearly before we can treat and use medication accordingly. So if there is blood in the semen, what tests should be done and what problems should be paid attention to? Male friends, let's learn these common sense together!

Normal semen discharged from the body is milky white. If the semen discharged is pink or red when observed with the naked eye, it is called hematospermia, also known as "naked blood-spermia". This is a serious condition. Mild hematospermia cannot be detected by the naked eye. Red blood cells can be seen in the semen under a microscope, which is called "submicroscopic hematospermia". Hematospermia is also called spermatorrhema.

Physical examination and semen testing

If a man experiences blood in semen, he should pay attention to other accompanying symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination and other symptoms of urinary tract infection; coughing up sputum, coughing up blood, afternoon low fever, sweating and other symptoms of tuberculosis; easy bleeding tendency; urinary obstruction symptoms such as dysuria; ejaculation pain and sexual dysfunction; lower abdominal pain, perineum and other pains, etc. Because some antibacterial drugs used to treat cystitis can also change the color of semen, semen testing is necessary for patients with hemospermia.

Step-by-step ejaculation test

For patients with hematospermia, some hospitals will also require patients to undergo a step-by-step ejaculation test, which can not only clearly determine whether there are red blood cells and white blood cells in the semen, but also provide a preliminary estimate of the condition of the accessory glands and the source of the hematospermia.

Semen bacterial culture + drug sensitivity test

For some necessary patients, semen bacterial culture + drug sensitivity test can be performed, and the doctor can choose appropriate antibacterial drugs.

Because men often have some bad life details and do not pay too much attention to their reproductive health problems, they are easily affected and harmed by these diseases. Therefore, we must pay attention to scientific examinations, follow the doctor's treatment suggestions, and use correct treatment and medication to restore male fertility.
