What are the symptoms of seminal vesiculitis?

What is seminal vesiculitis? Seminal vesiculitis often occurs at the same time as prostatitis, and is mostly caused by retrograde infection. Seminal vesiculitis is divided into acute and chronic seminal vesiculitis. Prostatic seminal vesiculitis is an inflammation caused by bacteria, which can seriously affect men's lives and even cause infertility when the disease is severe. Therefore, it is very important for patients to receive timely and accurate treatment for this disease. So what are the symptoms of it?

1. Acute

(1) Patients infected through the blood circulation may experience chills, body aches, and lower abdominal pain. Patients infected through the urethra may experience symptoms of seminal vesiculitis, including frequent urination, urgency, pain, and perineal and rectal pain.

(2) The seminal vesicle may be palpably enlarged and painful, and if abscesses form, there may be a fluctuating sensation.

2. Chronic seminal vesiculitis

(1) This is often a characteristic of chronic seminal vesiculitis. The semen is pink, dark red or brown in appearance, and a few are accompanied by old, crumbly blood clots. Hematospermia is often difficult to stop on its own and often lasts for several months. Most patients do not have pain during ejaculation.

(2) Sexual dysfunction: Most people avoid sexual intercourse due to fear of hematospermia. For a long time, people often experience decreased libido and frequent orgasms.

(3) Urinary tract symptoms: Most patients with seminal vesiculitis do not have obvious urinary tract irritation symptoms. Most patients complain of discomfort in the perineum and lower abdomen. Some patients have a burning sensation in the urethra and shortness of breath after ejaculation.

(4) Nervous system symptoms: Patients are worried about the impact of hematospermia on their own and their spouse’s health and the impact on fertility, so they feel heavy mentally. They often feel dizzy and weak, which is especially obvious in patients with a long course of illness.

(5) Rectal examination: The seminal vesicles of obese people are often unclear. Some patients with seminal vesiculitis may find that the seminal vesicles on both sides are slightly hard, enlarged and tender. When there are adhesions around them, the boundaries of the seminal vesicles are unclear.

Based on the typical clinical manifestations, the possibility of seminal vesiculitis should be considered, and seminal vesiculitis needs to be differentiated from prostatitis. It is of great significance for diagnosis, and combined with imaging examination, it can be diagnosed as bacterial seminal vesiculitis.

So what tests are needed for seminal vesiculitis? Seminal vesiculitis symptoms require the following tests:

1. Urethrascopy: During the examination, we can find that the seminal fossa has inflammatory changes, and sometimes the surface is granular, granuloma-like hyperplasia, and purulent or bloody secretions flow out.

2. The normal value of refined plasma fructose is 0.87-3.95g/L. Long-term chronic seminal vesiculitis in men can cause a decrease in fructose content, which male friends need to pay attention to.

3. Bacterial culture: Experts point out that if only semen cytology or bacterial culture is performed, even if it is positive, it cannot confirm the symptoms of seminal vesiculitis.

4. Seminal vesiculography: It is performed by directly puncturing the vas deferens through the scrotal skin to identify whether the patient has seminal vesiculitis.

The seminal vesicle is an accessory gland of the male reproductive organ, so it is extremely important for men to pay attention to their own health at all times. They should know how to develop good living habits, find problems in their bodies in time and go to the hospital to solve them in time, so as not to give germs the opportunity to stay in the body.
