Very often men neglect their he alth and rarely visit doctors. However, such a pathological phenomenon as ejaculation with blood should alert.
This condition occurs for various reasons, but may not always indicate serious pathological processes. But in some situations, this is a symptom of dangerous diseases that it will be impossible to cope with on your own.
Let's consider how ejaculation with blood manifests itself.
Symptomatics
Within the normal range, seminal fluid has a light color: white, milky or light gray, this is due to the content of spermatozoa, the larger the number, the brighter the color of the sperm. If after ejaculation it is found that the seminal fluid is brown, scarlet or burgundy, then this is a reason for a man to think seriously about he alth.
Blood during ejaculation in men is not a very common symptom,which, however, has been known for a long time. Modern clinicians call it hemospermia and say that this phenomenon is associated with a variety of pathological conditions, depending on the symptoms and signs. Most often, this pathology occurs in patients older than 40 years.
True and false hemospermia
Hemospermia is true and false, and these forms are very easy to distinguish from each other. In the true form of the disease, the ejaculate turns brown or dark red evenly.
As for the false etiology of this disease, streaks of fresh blood are noted in the seminal fluid. This condition is very unpleasant and may indicate a number of ailments. This manifestation of diseases of the male genital area requires an urgent referral to a specialist, since such a pathology can lead to extremely serious consequences.
In addition, the disease is divided into secondary and primary. In the case of the primary form of the disease, bloody impurities in the semen are observed once, and this does not recur. In the secondary form, this phenomenon is observed in men regularly.
Minor symptoms
Depending on the cause, ejaculation with blood is often accompanied by some secondary symptoms:
- painful ejaculation;
- presence of blood in urine;
- decrease in sexual desire and sensitivity in the process of sexual intimacy;
- fever and fever;
- premature ejaculation;
- loss of appetite, weakness, dizziness;
- frequent urination, which may be accompanied by pulling pains;
- pain in the groin, scrotum and perineum.
In order for a specialist to make a correct diagnosis and prescribe therapeutic measures, he needs to provide reliable and complete information about all the negative manifestations that occur simultaneously with the main complaint. Why does ejaculation occur with blood?
Causes of the pathological phenomenon
It is possible to talk about the factors contributing to the occurrence of such a pathological phenomenon only after it has been determined whether false or true hemospermia occurs in a particular case. With the true nature of the phenomenon, we can talk about diseases of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, prostate appendages. In particular, the main causes of ejaculation with blood in men are the following pathologies of the genital area:
- Prostatitis, which is an inflammatory disease of the prostate that affects many men aged 25-35. Pathology is quite insidious, and in the initial stages it may not reveal itself in any way. However, having developed, such inflammation leads to a decrease in libido, painful urination, infertility and the development of an inflammatory process in other urinary organs.
- Vesiculitis, which is an inflammatory process occurring in the structures of the seminal vesicles. A similar pathological phenomenon also affects young men and delivers not only physical discomfort, but also significantly worsens the properties of seminal fluid.
- Colliculitis, which is inflammation of the seminal tubercle. This disease occurs as a result of infections from the external environment or from other organs affected by inflammation in the small pelvis entering the cavity of the urethra. Such a disease is accompanied by painful sensations in the perineal area and false frequent urge to urinate. In addition, with colliculitis, there is blood not only in the semen, but also in the urine.
The above diseases are the most common, but not the only ones in the list of causes leading to ejaculation with an admixture of blood.
Preconditions for false hemospermia
False hemospermia also has some prerequisites for its occurrence:
- Development of neoplasms in the urogenital organs. Often, blood clots in seminal fluid are a symptom of testicular or prostate cancer. These pathologies require long-term therapy and are accompanied by many different complications.
- Urethritis is an inflammation that occurs in the urethra. This disease is very common and occurs due to infections or viruses that have entered the urethra. Often the infection spreads to other pelvic organs.
- Mechanical damage to the genitals. A similar phenomenon is observed very often, and not onlyas a result of injuries and blows, but also due to the man wearing tight underwear. However, in such situations, bloody inclusions in the ejaculate are of a single nature.
- Low blood clotting, which is a chronic pathology that needs therapy from several specialists at the same time.
It is categorically impossible to ignore the presence of blood after ejaculation, since the price of such carelessness can be very high. Whatever the causes of bleeding in semen, it is impossible to deal with them on your own in most cases.
Treatment
When ejaculation occurs interspersed with blood, the nature of therapeutic measures depends on the causes of this phenomenon. If the trouble is of a one-time nature, and the patient has not reached the age of 40, then treatment may not be needed, since young men rarely suffer from oncological pathologies of the genital organs. In other cases, an individual therapy regimen is needed that will correspond to the clinical picture.
For the treatment of diseases accompanied by impurities of blood in the semen, different methods are used: physiotherapy, minimally invasive surgical procedures. Their selection depends on the patient's diagnosis.
Inflammatory processes in the prostate, seminal vesicles and tubercles are treated with electrophoresis. This procedure involves the use of direct current, as well as various medications: "Calcium chloride", "Novocain", bromine, etc.
Ultrasound treatmentis a popular form of physical therapy. This technique has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, accelerates metabolic processes, relieves swelling, and normalizes sexual functions.
Magnetotherapy
Magnetotherapy is a method that is used in various branches of medicine. Urologists use alternating and constant magnetic fields to treat inflammation of the prostate. This method shows good results and has no contraindications.
If the blood in the semen is persistent, endoscopic surgery in the area of the seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts may be required. This procedure allows you to eliminate the disease, avoiding a long rehabilitation.
In cases of oncological diseases, specific techniques are needed to kill the affected cells. Often, if there is blood during ejaculation, surgery is required.
Medications
If the blood in the semen is a symptom of a certain disease, then this problem can be solved with the help of medicines. In each case, an individual approach is used. A common feature of the treatment of various male diseases is the need for antibacterial drugs, such as Ofloxacin or Amoxiclav. Usually, such treatment lasts up to 14 days, even if the signs of the disease have disappeared earlier.
For inflammation and pain, a specialist may prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: Nurofen, Diclofenac.
How to prevent the development of such a phenomenon as blood in semen during ejaculation?
Prevention
Preventive measures are based on protecting the genitourinary organs from injury. To do this, use protection when playing sports, wear loose clothing and avoid cases that involve blows to this area.
Besides this, the regularity of intimate life is of great importance. Prolonged abstinence leads to severe pathologies that contribute to the emergence of even greater problems - both physiological and psychological.
And the last thing you need to prevent such a symptom is the constancy of the sexual partner, protection from sexual infections and the use of barrier methods of contraception.
Reviews
Judging by the information from the reviews, blood during ejaculation was most often observed after bruises and injuries of the genital organs, in particular the testicles, which is often characteristic of athletes. In a small number of cases, such a pathological phenomenon was observed in men due to a variety of inflammatory processes. At the same time, patients experienced discomfort during sexual intercourse, soreness and discomfort during urination, they say that they were prescribed antibiotic treatment, which helped get rid of this problem. These drugs were taken in a course of 10 to 14 days.
