What's going on if there's blood in the semen?

Many male friends, after having sex, find that there is some blood in their semen during ejaculation. Originally, the color of male semen is milky white or transparent, but if there is blood in the semen, and if there are more blood, it should be taken seriously. It is very likely that there are some male health problems. Let's take a good look at it with the editor today!

The most common cause of hematospermia is seminal vesiculitis, followed by prostatitis and posterior urethritis or posterior urethral congestion. Other inflammations of nearby organs may also spread, causing inflammation, swelling, congestion and bleeding of the seminal vesicle wall. Generally speaking, at least 70% of hematospermia in people under 30 years old is caused by inflammation.

From the perspective of anatomical structure, the ejaculatory duct connected to the seminal vesicle opens at the urethral ridge of the posterior urethra, and there are 10-20 prostatic duct openings around it. In fact, the seminal vesicle, prostate, and posterior urethra are interconnected, and inflammation can easily spread from one of them to the other two.

What is the reason for blood in semen? If it is just an accidental occurrence of blood in semen 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 blood in semen persists and continues to worsen, the possibility of a tumor cannot be ruled out. Individual patients with extensive bleeding tendencies in other parts of the body are likely to have systemic blood system hemorrhagic diseases, such as leukemia and thrombocytopenia, rather than the consequences of local lesions.

It is recommended that male friends should go to the andrology department for a detailed examination in time. If it is confirmed that there are some male diseases, it is best to treat them in time to avoid the disease from becoming more serious. Early treatment can cure it as soon as possible. During this time, male friends must pay attention to moderate sex life and not overwork.
