Hematospermia is an abnormal condition which indicates the presence of blood in semen. The blood content may not be distinctly obvious, but trace amounts can be determined due to discoloration in the semen. The excretion reddish or brownish semen is an indicator of hermatospermia. Other symptoms include having difficulty and pain when urinating and ejaculating, having traces of blood in the urine, pain in the lower back, scrotum and testes, as well as the inflammation of the general groin area.
While this is indeed a disconcerting occurrence for males, it does not necessarily points to a serious underlying cause. The condition is usually caused by a ruptured blood vessel in the prostate, resulting to the presence of blood in ejaculation. This may happen during an intense orgasm. Nevertheless, the discoloration will eventually revert to normal after a few days.
Although this condition is benign and commonly idiopathic (spontaneously occurring without known causes), it is important to monitor its occurrences closely to see if it is a simple case similar to the one recounted above or it could stem from a more serious condition.
Causes of Hermatospermia
This may be a post-procedural effect of a prostate gland biopsy. More than 80% of men who have undergone this procedure have experienced ejaculating semen with blood for as long as four weeks. Vasectomy (the process of blocking the passage of the sperm cells during ejaculation, thus rendering a man incapable of impregnating a woman) may also result to this condition one week after the surgery.
Growth of tumors, whether benign or malignant, in the key parts of the male genital system (prostate, testicles, seminal vesicles and urethra) and even the urinary bladder may also result to bloody semen.
In addition, urinary tract infection and various forms of sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, herpes, trichomoniasis and AIDS are also conditions that may cause hermatospermia.
Other causes may include inflammation (such as prostatitis, epididymitis and urethritis), hypertension, leukemia, scurvy, lymphoma, liver cirrhosis, cancer, indtraductual carcinoma and hemophilia.
Treatment of Hermatospermia
The condition is traditionally allowed to subside on its own for several days, especially if the patient underwent some of the special cases mentioned above. Antibiotics are usually administered to hasten the treatment of the disease.
