Blood in semen, or hematospermia, is when blood appears during ejaculation. Causes include infections, inflammation, trauma, cysts, or other health issues. Diagnosis involves medical evaluation, and treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Blood in semen is a condition known as hematospermia. It can be alarming but is often benign and temporary. Causes range from infections and inflammation to trauma or cysts. Persistent or recurrent blood in semen warrants medical investigation.
Infections of the prostate, seminal vesicles, or urethra can lead to bleeding. Inflammatory conditions like prostatitis may also cause blood in semen.
Recent injury or trauma to the genital area, prostate, or pelvis can result in bleeding during ejaculation.
Cysts, varicoceles, or benign tumors within the reproductive tract may cause bleeding. These often require medical assessment and possible intervention.
Recent surgeries or medical procedures involving the prostate or reproductive organs can cause temporary blood presence.
Less commonly, blood in semen may be associated with blood clotting disorders, hypertension, or other systemic health issues.
While blood in semen can be harmless, persistent bleeding, pain, swelling, or associated urinary symptoms should prompt medical consultation. Early diagnosis ensures appropriate treatment and peace of mind.
A healthcare provider will perform a physical exam, review medical history, and may order tests such as urinalysis, semen analysis, ultrasound, or MRI to identify the cause.
If infection or inflammation is diagnosed, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed.
Procedures to remove cysts, address varicoceles, or repair injuries may be necessary in some cases.
Managing systemic health issues like blood disorders or hypertension can reduce recurrence.
Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments ensure resolution and prevent complications.
