Reasons for dark red semen

I believe that every male friend knows that the symptoms of experience are white or yellow and transparent. Once the semen appears dark red, it means that this is abnormal or it is caused by a problem somewhere. In the next article, let’s learn about how to deal with this phenomenon.

Under normal circumstances, the color of male semen should be grayish white or slightly yellow. If the semen just ejaculated is light red, red or brownish red, or has blood streaks or blood clots, or red blood cells can be seen under a microscope, this is hematospermia. Once it occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid losing the good treatment opportunity, delaying the disease and bringing more trouble.

The main cause of hematospermia is seminal vesiculitis. Seminal vesiculitis is mostly secondary to infection of adjacent organs such as the rectum, bladder, urethra, and prostate, but gonococci can directly cause infection. After the seminal vesicle is infected, the seminal vesicle wall often becomes edematous, congested, and has an increased number of new blood vessels and a thin wall. During sexual intercourse, ejaculation causes the seminal vesicle wall muscles to contract, blood vessels to rupture and bleed, and pain after sexual intercourse occurs, and blood appears in the semen.

In addition, prostatitis can also cause hematospermia. Prostate infection usually causes mild bleeding, short duration, and intermittent attacks. Prostate stones, tuberculosis, and injuries can all cause hematospermia. Hematospermia can also occur when the spermatic cord is varicocelectomy. Hematospermia caused by prostate hypertrophy, certain tumors of the reproductive system such as spermatic papilloma, seminal vesicle, and prostate cancer often have long-term symptoms and gradually worsen, but the incidence is relatively low. Sometimes hematospermia is a local manifestation of some systemic diseases, such as blood diseases, liver cirrhosis, etc., which require further examination and diagnosis.

With the development and progress of medicine, some physical symptoms have emerged. You need to go to the hospital for examination in time to confirm the diagnosis. Especially for male friends who have had infertility, you should actively go to the hospital for examination to prevent and treat infertility.
