What are the causes of hemospermia and how to treat it

Hemospermia is very common seem in men of all ages. It is a phenomenon that we can see blood in the ejaculated semen. Under normal circumstances, semen is milk-white, off-white or faint yellow. But patients with hemospermia would have semen mixed with blood and presenting pink. Observing under the microscope, we can find red blood cells in semen.

Hemospermia is very hazardous to people. Firstly, it can kill sperms. Because of the existing of inflammation, there would be a lot of white blood cells in the seminal vesicle, which block the flowing of semen and induce the death of sperms. Secondly, some men are so anxious about it that they loss their self-confidence. It would influence the male sexual function. At last, hemospermia can also induce infertility, because the structure of sexual organs inducing hemospermia is very complicated, if they are blocked, the inflammation would turn into chronic disease. And then, it would induce the secondary blockage of seminiferous duct, inducing that the semen can't be ejaculated out of body.

If a man has hemospermia, he would always be very panic. So we should know what are the causes of hemospermia? Hemospermia is most commonly brought about by diseases in seminal vesicle and prostate. Seminal vesiculitis is a common reason inducing hemospermia. Seminal vesicle is located above the prostate, between bladder and rectum. In the seminal vesicle lining, there is a layer of tiny vasoganglion, which contains many capillaries. Once the seminal vesicle is inflamed, the seminal vesicle lining would be congesting and swelling. The capillaries are more easily to burst, causing bleeding. Sometimes, it would be accompanied with pain in the lower abdomen after ejaculation, and frequent urination, urgent urination and painful urination. Some of the symptoms are similar to the symptoms of prostatitis. In additional, cysts of ejaculatory duct and seminal vesicle can also induce hemospermia. So if we have hemospermia, we should find out the causes of that first.

If your hemospermia is induced by inflammations, no matter it is prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis, we suggest you to use traditional Chinese medicine: diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill to treat it. TCM treatment of hemospermia has a strong overall concept: from the patients to consider the characteristics of the body, not just limited to the lesion itself.

The introduction of Seminal Vesicle

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.

Of course, Prostatitis can be caused by many things. And there are a lot of people doubting genital herpes can cause prostatitis. Dr. Lee explains it is true that genital herpes do cause prostatitis.

As a sexually transmitted disease, genital herpes (often shortened to herpes) is caused by the herpes simplex virus and characterized by genital or rectal blisters. But many people never realize they have herpes at all. Like most sexually transmitted diseases, it can be spread through sexual contact with those already infected.

Prostatitis is often described as an infection of the prostate.it is the inflammation and swelling of the prostate gland, a walnut-sized gland that sits at the beginning of the urethra in men. Prostatitis can affect men of all ages. According to the National Institutes of Health, prostatitis may account for up to 25% of all office visits for complaints involving the genital and urinary systems from young and middle-aged men. The symptoms include frequent urge to urinate, difficulty urinating, pain or burning during urination, chills and fever etc.

According to the research, prostatitis can be caused by the herpes simplex virus. Herpes causes inflamed blisters on the genitals and the rectum. When these blisters are opened, the herpes simplex virus often can be found in the fluid that leaks out. Then the virus spreads from open blisters in the rectum and infects the prostate gland, which can be reached through the anus.

After diagnosis as prostatitis, patients have to take the suitable treatments like antibiotics and the traditional Chinese herbal medicines. However, it is not a good idea to take antibiotics for a long time because of its resistance to drugs. For chronic prostatitis, Chinese herbal medicine diuretic anti-inflammatory pill, which is made from the pure natural herbs, has the remarkable effect that can cure the disease once and for all without any side effect.

Attention: you have to take those treatments under your health-care provider’s instruction.  He or she will advise you to inform your past, current and future sexual partners of your disease and practice safe sex with all sexual partners to avoid transmission of herpes.

Should prostatitis patients avoid intercourse when accepting treatment?

There is no doubt, sexual behaviors like intercourse or masturbation can bring congestion to prostate. And the frequent congestion caused by frequent intercourse or masturbation is a major reason of prostatitis. Therefore, some patients hold the view that sexual intercourse is bad for prostate recovery. On the contrary, some hold the point that sex is good for prostate recovery, because sex help expel the inflammatory materials from prostate. As a result, there is an argument between prostatitis sufferers: should prostatitis patient avoid intercourse when accepting treatment?

Firstly, as is known to all, prostatitis which can be cured by herbal pill - Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a common disease for men. This condition usually is caused by bacteria, virus or pathogen. And it commonly brings redness on urethral orifice, frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, burning to men. Therefore, we all know that there are inflammatory materials in prostate. What’s more, there is no doubt that appropriate sexual intercourse can help expel the inflammatory materials from prostatitis, because intercourse can enhance the local blood circulation of prostatitis. Hence, intercourse is helpful for prostate recovery.

Secondly, proper sexual intercourse can also arouse couples’ sexual drive and deepen their love. What’s more, proper sexual intercourse is also a good way to prevent sexual dysfunctions.

Last but not least, prostate gland can also be hurt by long term asexual life, because inflammatory materials cannot be expelled from prostatitis.

Therefore, intercourse is good for prostate recovery. Men shouldn’t say no to intercourse. Moreover, although not all types of prostatitis are contagious, it is also better for couple to use condom when having sex. Men should do a good hygiene job before having sex without condom.

By the way, for acute prostatitis sufferers, sexual intercourse isn’t proper, because intercourse can aggravate the symptoms, making patients painful.

To sum up, there is no need to say no to intercourse because proper sexual intercourse is helpful for the chronic prostatitis men. As for acute prostatitis men, it is better for them to enjoy sex when prostatitis steps into chronic period.
