Very often, men neglect their health and rarely visit doctors. However, such a pathological phenomenon as ejaculation with blood should alert.
This condition occurs for various reasons, but it can not always indicate serious pathological processes. But in some situations, this is a symptom of dangerous diseases, which it will be impossible to cope on their own.
Consider how ejaculation is manifested with blood.
Symptomatology
Within normal limits, the seminal fluid has a light color: white, milky or light gray, this is due to the content of sperm, the larger the number, the more pronounced the color of 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 his health.
Blood during ejaculation in men is not a very common symptom, which, however, has been known since ancient times. 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 it is very easy to distinguish these forms from each other. With the true form of the disease, the ejaculate is painted 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 appeal to a specialist, since such a pathology can entail extremely serious consequences.
In addition, the disease is divided into secondary and primary. In the case of the primary form of the disease, a bloody admixture in the semen is observed once, and this is no longer repeated. In the secondary form, this phenomenon is noted in men regularly.
Minor symptoms
Depending on the cause, ejaculation with blood is often accompanied by some secondary symptoms:
- soreness during ejaculation ;
- the presence of blood in the urine;
- decreased sexual desire and sensitivity in the process of sexual intimacy;
- fever and fever;
- premature ejaculation;
- decreased appetite, weakness, dizziness;
- frequent urination, which can occur with the accompanying 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 with blood occur?
The causes of the pathological phenomenon
Talking about the factors contributing to the occurrence of such a pathological phenomenon is possible only after it is 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, and 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 25-35 years old. Pathology is quite insidious, and in the initial stages may not reveal itself in any way. However, having developed, such inflammation leads to a decrease in libido, pain during urination, infertility and the development of the inflammatory process in other genitourinary organs.
- Vesiculitis, which is an inflammatory process that occurs in the structures of seminal vesicles. A similar pathological phenomenon also affects young men and causes not only physical discomfort, but also significantly worsens the properties of seminal fluid.
- Coliculitis, which is an inflammation of the seed tubercle. This disease occurs due to the ingress of infections into the urethra from the external environment or from other organs affected by inflammation in the pelvis. Such a disease is accompanied by painful sensations in the perineal area and false frequent urge to urinate. In addition, with colliculitis, the presence of blood is observed not only in semen, but also in urine.
The above diseases are the most common, but not the only ones on the list of causes leading to blood ejaculation.
Prerequisites for the occurrence of false hemospermia
False hemospermia also has some prerequisites for its occurrence:
- The development of neoplasms in the genitourinary organs. Often blood clots in the seminal fluid are a symptom of cancer of the testicles or prostate gland. These pathologies require long-term therapy and are accompanied by many different complications.
- Urethritis - inflammation 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 organs of the pelvis.
- Mechanical damage to the genitals. A similar phenomenon is observed very often, not only as a result of injuries and shock, but also because of the man wearing tight underwear. However, in such situations, bloody inclusions in the ejaculate are of a single nature.
- Low blood coagulation, which is a chronic pathology that needs treatment in 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 factors of the occurrence of spotting in the semen, it is impossible to cope with them in most cases.
Treatment
In the event of ejaculation with disseminated blood, the nature of therapeutic measures depends on the causes of this phenomenon. If the nuisance is of a one-time nature, and the patient has not reached the age of 40, then treatment may not be necessary, since young men rarely suffer from genital oncological pathologies. In other cases, an individual therapy regimen is required, which will correspond to the clinical picture.
For the treatment of diseases accompanied by blood impurities in semen, different methods are used: physiotherapy, minimally invasive surgical procedures. Their selection depends on the diagnosis of the patient.
Inflammatory processes in the prostate, seminal vesicles and tubercles are treated using electrophoresis. This procedure involves the use of direct current, as well as various medications: “Calcium Chloride”, “Novocaine”, bromine, etc.
Ultrasound treatment is a popular form of physiotherapy. 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 a variable and constant magnetic field 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 seminal vesicles and vas deferens can be required. This procedure allows you to eliminate the disease, avoiding prolonged rehabilitation.
In cases of the development of oncological diseases, specific techniques are needed aimed at the death of the affected cells. Often, if ejaculation is bleeding, surgical intervention is required.
Medications
If blood in semen is a symptom of a certain disease, then this problem can be solved with the help of drugs. 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. Typically, this treatment lasts up to 14 days, even if the signs of the disease have disappeared earlier.
With inflammation and pain, a specialist can 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 the protection of the genitourinary organs from injury. To do this, use protection when playing sports, wear loose clothing and avoid cases involving blows to this area.
In addition, 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 that is necessary to prevent such a symptom is the constancy of the sexual partner, protection against 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, this pathological phenomenon was observed in men due to a variety of inflammatory processes. At the same time, patients experienced discomfort during intercourse, pain 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.
