Causes of Seminal Vesiculitis

Seminal vesiculitis is an inflammation of the seminal veicles, most often secondary to prostatitis, although it may occur independently.

The causes of vesiculitis appears to vary greatly as bacteria, viral, and unidentified causes have been blamed. Because of the expence of the antibiotics and labor to administer treatment, long term treatment with antimicrobials is not warranted useless of first collects a sample of seminal vesicle fluid and determines that a bacterial infection is in fact present.

Seminal vesiculitis may occur by these means:

1 Bacteria enter the seminal vesicles through the urethra.

2 Inflammation in testis or epididymis spread locally and cause seminal vesiculitis.

3 When prostate, rectum or bladder is infected, pathogens can directly spread to seminal vesicles.

4 Any infection lesion, such as tonsillitis and gingivitis can also cause the disease because bacteria travels through the blood vessles.

Besides, any factor which can cause congestion of prostate or seminal vesicles can induce acute seminal vesiculitis, such as bibulosity, catching a cold, having too much intercourses, damage of perineum area and long-term pressure.

In the concept of tcm, causes of seminal vesiculitis can be divided into:
- Obstruction of blood in perineum area
- Weakness in kidneys and spleen because of having too much sexual intercourses
- Obstruction of heat and dampness in lower abdomen
- Too much heat in body

Causes of Seminal Vesiculitis

Introduction to seminal vesicle

 

The seminal vesicleis a male-specific structure which is about 2 inches or 5 centimeters long and is located behind the urinary bladder and above the prostate gland. The seminal vesiclesare also called glandulae vesiculosae or vesicular glands. The seminal vesicles are composed of a pair of simple tubular glands. 

 

The function of the seminal vesicles

 

The seminal vesicleis a very important organ in the male. The importance of the seminal vesicle lies in that the seminal vesiclessecrete a significant proportion of the fluid which ultimately becomes semen.

The two seminal vesiclescontribute about 60 percent of the fluids passed from the human male during ejaculation. That is to say, the secretion of the seminal vesiclesconstitutes the bulk of the semen. It is a thick fluid that contains the sugar fructose.

 

Vesiculitisis the disease of the seminal vesicles.

 

Generally speaking, seminal vesiculitisisan inflammation of the seminal vesicles. Although it may occur independently, seminal vesiculitis is most often secondary to prostatitis.
