Blood clots in ejaculation

When a man is sexually stimulated, the cavernous body inside the penis will continue to become engorged and swollen, and through sexual intercourse, the male penis will ejaculate semen, which is a complete sexual intercourse process. At the same time, the condition of the semen ejaculated by the male can also be seen from the male's physical problems. If there are blood clots in the semen, it must not be taken lightly, it is very likely caused by pathological factors, and you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.

Causes of blood in semen

The most common causes of hematospermia are as follows:

1. Inflammation: The seminal vesicles, prostate glands, urinary tract, rectum and other organs are closely adjacent to each other, which can easily lead to infection. The post-infection inflammatory process can stimulate the tubules and glandular mucosa, causing local congestion, edema and bleeding. Infection pathogens include viruses, bacteria, mycobacteria and parasitic infections. Inflammation can also be the result of trauma, urethral foreign bodies, and chemicals. Trauma can include stones in the prostate or seminal vesicles.

2. Obstruction or cyst: Obstruction of the ejaculatory duct may cause the proximal duct to dilate and swell, leading to rupture and bleeding of mucosal blood vessels, such as Wolffian duct cysts, seminal vesicle cysts and prostate cysts.

3. Tumor: Various benign tumors have been reported to cause hematospermia, such as ectopic prostate tissue in the urethra, prostate polyps, and hyperplastic urine. Malignant tumors of the prostate, testicles, and seminal vesicles can cause hematospermia.

4. Vascular abnormalities: Varicose veins of the seminal vesicle, prostatic urethra and bladder neck can also be the cause of hematospermia. In addition, vascular abnormalities of the reproductive system during puberty can lead to hematospermia, including arteriovenous malformations, prostatic hemangiomas, seminal vesicles and rare spermatic cord hemangiomas.

Dangers of blood in semen

1. Decreased sexual function: If hematospermia is not cured for a long time or the treatment is not ideal, it will also lead to a decline in the condition of other parts of the body, and coupled with the psychological fear of the disease, it will affect the male sexual function.

2. Killing sperm: During inflammation, there are a large number of cells and white blood cells in the seminal plasma, which may also be mixed with pus, and the viscosity will increase significantly. The ejaculated semen is not easy to liquefy, and the sperm cannot move and cannot drive straight into the cervix. During inflammation, the volume of seminal plasma is too small, which is not conducive to the survival of sperm.

3. Infertility: Since the sexual organs that cause hematospermia have complex structures and poor drainage, it is easy to become chronic, which can cause secondary vas deferens obstruction and edema and obstruction of the ejaculatory duct opening, resulting in dry ejaculation with only ejaculation action but no semen discharge. This is the mechanism of hematospermia causing infertility. Other causes of infertility include changes in the composition of seminal plasma during seminal vesiculitis, bacteria swallowing nutrients in seminal plasma, competing for oxygen, and excreting toxins and metabolites, which undoubtedly make sperm face an extremely unfavorable environment and reduce fertility.

What to do if your semen contains blood

The treatment of hematospermia should first clarify the cause of hematospermia. If it is inflammation, conservative treatment can be adopted first. Clinically, some patients with severe seminal vesicle diseases are ineffective with conventional conservative treatment. If it is obstruction, cyst, tumor, or vascular abnormality, conservative treatment is usually ineffective. Further treatment measures are needed. At present, a new minimally invasive surgical treatment method is adopted internationally for patients with stubborn hematospermia, which is minimally invasive transurethral ejaculatory duct incision and cyst resection/incision. This innovative surgical treatment has achieved satisfactory results in patients with severe hematospermia and obstructive azoospermia.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Hematospermia

The treatment of blood-spermia should be based on the principles of clearing heat, promoting the flow of dampness, and removing blood stasis to stop bleeding. Clear dampness and heat to guide fire downward; or clear stagnant heat to disperse evil fire; or clear deficiency heat to treat Yang.
