What is blood in ejaculation?

Normally, male semen is milky white without other colors, but some men may find that their semen is bloody during nightlife, which can cause anxiety. So, what is blood in the semen? First of all, blood in the semen is pathological and may be related to diseases such as seminal vesiculitis, excessive sexual indulgence, and tumors. It is best to go to the hospital's andrology department for a detailed examination.

1. Seminal vesiculitis: It is the most common cause of hematospermia, which is more common in young men. When the seminal vesicle is infected, the gland will experience a pathological process of congestion, swelling, and exudation. During sexual intercourse, the inflammation will be aggravated, resulting in hematospermia. Most seminal vesiculitis can be cured after anti-infection treatment. Generally, levofloxacin is used for four weeks. However, due to the poor blood supply of the seminal vesicle, sometimes it is difficult for the antibiotic to reach the antibacterial concentration, and the treatment effect is poor. Hematospermia may appear repeatedly, resulting in stubborn hematospermia. At this time, transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy is generally used for dredging and flushing, which is effective.

2. Excessive sexual indulgence. Young people who have not had sex for a long time or have a very intense sex life when they are newly married will have their seminal vesicles squeezed, which will cause hematospermia.

3. Urogenital tract tumors. When there is a malignant tumor in the testicle, epididymis, seminal vesicle or prostate, hematospermia may also occur. This situation is rare in clinical practice.

4. When young people have blood in semen, there is no need to panic. The most common cause is seminal vesiculitis. You can go to the hospital for a routine semen test and a B-ultrasound of the urogenital tract.

Hematospermia is mostly a benign and self-limiting disease, and its cause is mainly seen in seminal vesicle diseases. Such as seminal vesiculitis, seminal vesicle tuberculosis, seminal vesicle tumor, etc., especially seminal vesiculitis is the most common. Although generally speaking, hematospermia has no special relationship with some major diseases, sometimes hematospermia may be a manifestation of certain systemic diseases or serious organic diseases. Because there is blood in semen, it is very likely to cause male infertility.
