SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

Occasionally there is a mixture of blood in the sperm. Mixed blood in semen can be the norm and disease. If this happens to someone who has not had sex for a long time, this may be normal. Most other cases indicate that there is a problem.

There are true and false types of blood in sperm. In the true form of blood in the sperm, the blood mixes with the sperm in the following parts of the genitals. They are:

 

• Testicles;
• Prostate;
• Seed routes;
• Seed bubbles.

In these cases, the sperm is reddish in color. The presence of blood in the sperm is false, the blood mixes with the sperm in the urinary tract, and there are traces of blood in the sperm. This is because the blood has not yet mixed with the sperm.

Blood in the sperm is a serious sign. Of course, enough attention must be paid and the reasons must be identified. The presence of blood in sperm can affect not only fertility but also overall health. So you need to go to an andrologist immediately. First of all, the causes must be investigated and determined.

In young men, the presence of blood in the sperm can often be a sign of inflammation of the testicles, seminal vesicles, and prostate gland, which are the genital organs. If the inflammation is in the prostate gland, there are other disorders in addition to the presence of blood in the sperm. For example:

 

• fever;
• frequent urination;
• premature ejaculation;
• decreased pleasure in sex.

 

If you have any of these symptoms, be sure to see your doctor.

Why is there blood in the sperm?

Prostatitis and vesiculitis

The main cause of blood in the sperm is inflammation of the seminal vesicles, ie vesiculitis. Vesiculitis does not occur spontaneously. It is mostly chronic prostatitis occurs as a complication. The presence of blood in the sperm is a sign of a clear inflammation in the prostate and seminal vesicles. It is the prostate gland and seminal vesicles that are involved in the production of semen. Other symptoms of vesiculitis may include general malaise and lower abdominal pain. Pain in the lower abdomen may be exacerbated by urinary retention and arousal. In vesiculitis, blood is also found in semen and urine.

Oncological causes

In older men, sperm blood may be a sign of a benign or malignant tumor of the prostate gland. Over the years, the causes of prostate cancer in men have accumulated. If a malignant tumor is not detected in time, the consequences can be devastating. The difficulty of diagnosis lies in the lack of clear and distinct signs. The main symptoms may appear only when the disease is more advanced. However, the prostate in the blood allows diagnosis at the time of detection of a specific antigen.

Blood in sperm can sometimes be caused by mechanical stress during medical procedures or after trauma.

Symptoms of urethritis:

• general malaise;
• irritability when urinating;
• separation of pus from the urinary tract.

Symptoms of epididymitis:

• inflammation of the testicles;
• general malaise;
• frequent urination;
• testicular swelling and pain;
• urinary incontinence.

Prolonged, intense, and frequent sexual intercourse in the presence of circulatory disorders and stagnation in the male genitalia can also cause bleeding in the sperm.
