Blood in the SEMEN, usually due to INFLAMMATION of the PROSTATE, the SEMINAL VESICLES, or both.
Paired ducts in the human male through which semen is ejaculated into the urethra.
A saclike, glandular diverticulum on each ductus deferens in male vertebrates. It is united with the excretory duct and serves for temporary storage of semen. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)

Haematospermia - a systematic review. (1/14)

Haematospermia (or haemospermia) is a distressing symptom in sexually active men. In most cases, it is caused by non-specific inflammation of the prostate and seminal vesicles. In a small percentage of men, however, it may be a manifestation of genito-urinary or systemic malignancy, in particular prostate cancer. The purpose of this review is to explain the causes and management of patients with haematospermia.  (+info)

Endorectal magnetic resonance imaging in persistent hemospermia. (3/14)

OBJECTIVE: To present the spectrum of abnormalities found at endorectal magnetic resonance imaging (E-MRI), in patients with persistent hemospermia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A review of E-MRI findings observed in 86 patients with persistent hemospermia was performed and results compared with those reported in the literature. Follow-up was possible in 37 of 86 (43%) patients with hemospermia. RESULTS: E-MRI showed abnormal findings in 52 of 86 (60%) patients with hemospermia. These findings were: a) hemorrhagic seminal vesicle and ejaculatory duct, isolated (n = 11 or 21%) or associated with complicated midline prostatic cyst (n = 10 or 19.0%); b) hemorrhagic chronic seminal vesiculitis, isolated (n = 14 or 27%) or associated with calculi within dilated ejaculatory ducts (n = 2 or 4 %); c) hemorrhagic seminal vesicle associated with calculi within dilated ejaculatory duct (n = 4 or 7.7%) or within seminal vesicle (n = 4 or 7.7%); d) non-complicated midline prostatic cyst (n = 6 or 11.5%); and e) prostate cancer (n = 1 or 2%). Successful treatment was more frequent in patients with chronic inflammatory and/or obstructive abnormalities. CONCLUSION: E-MRI should be considered the modality of choice, for the evaluation of patients with persistent hemospermia.  (+info)

Evaluation and treatment of hematospermia. (6/14)

Hematospermia can be a distressing symptom for patients, but most cases are effectively managed by a primary care physician. Although the condition is usually benign, significant underlying pathology must be excluded by history, physical examination, laboratory evaluation, and, in select cases, other diagnostic modalities. In men younger than 40 years without risk factors (e.g., history of cancer, known urogenital malformation, bleeding disorders) and in men with no associated symptoms, hematospermia is often self-limited and requires no further evaluation or treatment other than patient reassurance. Many cases are attributable to sexually transmitted infections or other urogenital infections in men younger than 40 years who present with hematospermia associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. Workup in these patients can be limited to urinalysis and testing for sexually transmitted infections, with treatment as indicated. In men 40 years and older, iatrogenic hematospermia from urogenital instrumentation or prostate biopsy is the most common cause of blood in the semen. However, recurrent or persistent hematospermia or associated symptoms (e.g., fever, chills, weight loss, bone pain) should prompt further investigation, starting with a prostate examination and prostate-specific antigen testing to evaluate for prostate cancer. Other etiologies to consider in those 40 years and older include genitourinary infections, inflammations, vascular malformations, stones, tumors, and systemic disorders that increase bleeding risk.  (+info)

Safety of ultrasound-guided transrectal extended prostate biopsy in patients receiving low-dose aspirin. (7/14)

PURPOSE: To determine whether the peri-procedural administration of low-dose aspirin increases the risk of bleeding complications for patients undergoing extended prostate biopsies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From February 2007 to September 2008, 530 men undergoing extended needle biopsies were divided in two groups; those receiving aspirin and those not receiving aspirin. The morbidity of the procedure, with emphasis on hemorrhagic complications, was assessed prospectively using two standardized questionnaires. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the mean number of biopsy cores (12.9 +/- 1.6 vs. 13.1 +/- 1.2 cores, p = 0.09). No major biopsy-related complications were noted. Statistical analysis did not demonstrate significant differences in the rate of hematuria (64.5% vs. 60.6%, p = 0.46), rectal bleeding (33.6% vs. 25.9%, p = 0.09) or hemospermia (90.1% vs. 86.9%, p = 0.45). The mean duration of hematuria and rectal bleeding was significantly greater in the aspirin group compared to the control group (4.45 +/- 2.7 vs. 2.4 +/- 2.6, p = < 0.001 and 3.3 +/- 1.3 vs. 1.9 +/- 0.7, p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that only younger patients (mean age 60.1 +/- 5.8 years) with a lower body mass index (< 25 kg/m2) receiving aspirin were at a higher risk (odds ratio = 3.46, p = 0.047) for developing hematuria and rectal bleeding after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: The continuing use of low-dose aspirin in patients undergoing extended prostatic biopsy is a relatively safe option since it does not increase the morbidity of the procedure.  (+info)

The value of transrectal ultrasound in the diagnosis of hematospermia in a large cohort of patients. (8/14)

Several studies have proved transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) is efficient in the evaluation of patients with hematospermia, but the numbers of patients were less than 60 in each of the previous reports. Herein, a total of 270 patients with hematospermia were evaluated by TRUS to assess its efficacy in the etiologic diagnosis of hematospermia. The age of patients ranged from 15 to 75 years (x, 41.2 years), and the duration of symptoms was 1 day to 8 years (x, 3.4 months). Abnormalities were revealed by TRUS in 256 patients (94.8%). The percentages of pathological conditions located in the seminal vesicles, in the ejaculatory ducts, in the prostate, and in the bladder were 46.3% (125 cases), 29.6% (80 cases), 55.2% (149 cases), and 0.4% (1 case), respectively. The number of patients older than 40 years old and 40 years old or younger were 126 and 144, respectively. Our results show significantly higher percentages for malignant diseases, prostatic calcification and benign prostatic hyperplasia in the group of patients more than 40 years old compared with the group of patients 40 years old or less. Eight of 270 patients (3.0%) had malignant tumors, and all of the 8 malignancies occurred in patients more than 40 years old. TRUS is a noninvasive, reliable tool for the investigation of causes of hematospermia. Hematospermia is generally a benign symptom in younger patients. Special attention should be paid to elderly patients to exclude malignancy.  (+info)

Hemospermia is the medical term for the presence of blood in semen. It can be caused by various factors, such as inflammation or infection of the urethra, prostate gland, or seminal vesicles; trauma to the genital area; or more serious conditions like tumors. In many cases, the cause remains unknown and the condition resolves on its own within a few weeks. However, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional if you experience hemospermia to rule out any underlying medical conditions and receive appropriate treatment.

The ejaculatory ducts are a pair of small tubes in the male reproductive system that transport sperm from the vas deferens to the urethra, which runs through the penis and carries both semen and urine. Each duct is formed by the joining of the vas deferens and the seminal vesicle, and they pass through the prostate gland before opening into the urethra. The ejaculatory ducts are important for the proper functioning of the male reproductive system as they allow sperm to mix with other fluids from the seminal vesicles and prostate gland to create semen, which is necessary for fertilization.

The seminal vesicles are a pair of glands located in the male reproductive system, posterior to the urinary bladder and superior to the prostate gland. They are approximately 5 cm long and have a convoluted structure with many finger-like projections called infoldings. The primary function of seminal vesicles is to produce and secrete a significant portion of the seminal fluid, which makes up the bulk of semen along with spermatozoa from the testes and fluids from the prostate gland and bulbourethral glands.

The secretion of the seminal vesicles is rich in fructose, which serves as an energy source for sperm, as well as various proteins, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to maintaining the optimal environment for sperm survival, nourishment, and transport. During sexual arousal and ejaculation, the smooth muscles in the walls of the seminal vesicles contract, forcing the stored secretion into the urethra, where it mixes with other fluids before being expelled from the body as semen.
