What causes blood in semen?

Semen secretion is a normal physiological activity, so if there is a little blood in the semen, it may be a sign of something wrong with the body. But people who have this problem don't have to worry too much about it. If it is handled well, it will not cause any big problems. However, if there is really blood in the semen, you can't just ignore it. Now, please follow the editor to understand the problem of blood in semen.

1. The seminal vesicle is connected to the posterior urethra through the ejaculatory duct. Since the walls of the seminal vesicle are thin, once inflammation and congestion, or stones and other diseases occur, the walls of the vesicles full of blood vessels are prone to bleeding. The secretion of the seminal vesicle is one of the main components of semen. The bleeding of the seminal vesicle makes its secretion stained with blood. If it is discharged from the body with semen, it will produce hematospermia. Generally speaking, hematospermia is not easy to be noticed by people immediately, unless there is a lot of bleeding, otherwise it is difficult to find during sexual intercourse.

2. Clinically, hematospermia is not uncommon. After detailed clinical and laboratory examinations, the vast majority of cases can be controlled or cured through treatment. Only a very small number of tumor patients need further treatment. Since the components of semen, in addition to the small amount of sperm, mainly come from the seminal vesicles, followed by the prostate. Therefore, the most common cause of hematospermia is 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 the seminal vesicle wall to swell, become congested and bleed. Generally speaking, at least 70% of hematospermia in people under 30 years old is caused by inflammation.

In addition, hematospermia can also be caused by seminal vesicle tumors, but this is extremely rare. At this time, the hematospermia will be very serious, even almost entirely blood. If you encounter hematospermia, as long as you have ruled out the tumor that threatens your life, other hematospermia, even if it is very stubborn, is not a big deal.

After reading the above content, everyone should have a certain understanding of the issue of bleeding in semen. If you have the problem of bleeding in semen, don't be too shy to ask others. If a small problem is not solved in time, it may become a big problem. This is not alarmist. I wish everyone good health and happiness.
