What happens if there is blood in the semen?

Many male friends usually do not feel any obvious discomfort, but when they ejaculate, they will find some red blood in their semen. Most of the time, it is caused by some diseases. It must be taken seriously, and the cause of the disease must be found out in time, and then targeted treatment is carried out. The following editor will introduce some specific reasons for blood in semen.

Orchitis

It is caused by various pathogenic bacteria and viruses that infect the blood, lymphatic vessels, vas deferens or epididymis. Among them, orchitis caused by mumps is the most common. Mumps is an acute infectious disease caused by viruses. Adults with mumps are prone to orchitis. In the acute stage, patients show redness, swelling and pain in the scrotal skin, and have a noticeable feeling of swelling when walking. If it is not treated properly in the acute stage, it can turn into chronic orchitis.

Urethritis

Most cases are caused by retrograde infection, i.e., the bacteria directly invade the urethra. In the acute stage, patients may experience congestion and edema of the urethral mucosa, or the formation of erosion and ulcer, red and swollen urethral opening, mucous or purulent secretions, urethral tenderness and hardening; in severe cases, the epididymis and spermatic cord may be affected.

prostatitis

It is often caused by direct spread of urethritis, or acute inflammation of other tissues and organs through blood and lymph infection. It is a common disease in young and middle-aged men. Acute prostatitis has an acute onset, and is often manifested by general weakness, back pain, discomfort in the perineum and anus, accompanied by urinary pain, frequent urination, urgency and even hematuria. Some people also experience decreased libido, premature ejaculation or impotence.

Nonbacterial prostatitis

There are symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and sexual dysfunction, but laboratory tests cannot detect bacteria. It is mainly caused by excessive sexual activity, prolonged sexual excitement, or pelvic congestion caused by riding a bicycle or horse.

Therefore, male friends should maintain good living habits, try not to stay up late for a long time, and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible when they feel any discomfort, and then receive regular treatment after finding out the specific cause. They can also do some moderate physical exercise to enhance the body's immunity.
