Hematospermia (also known as haematospermia, hemospermia, or haemospermia) is the presence of blood in the ejaculate. It is most often a benign symptom. [1] Among men age 40 or older, hematospermia is a slight predictor of cancer, typically prostate cancer. [2] No specific cause is found in up to 70% of cases. [3]
When adenocarcinoma occurs, it can cause blood in the urine, blood in the semen, painful urination, urinary retention, or even urinary obstruction. [9] Adenocarcinomata are usually diagnosed after they are excised, based on tissue diagnosis. [9] Some produce the tumour marker Ca-125, which can be used to monitor for reoccurence afterwards. [9]

Traditionally, the breakdown of the blood-testis barrier had been established as the cause of ASA production. This mechanism had been advocated in testicular trauma and surgery, orchitis (), varicocele, bacterial infections (epididymitis, prostatitis), testicular cancer, and unprotected anal intercourse.
The cause of post-orgasmic pain determines the course of treatment. Antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed if infectious or inflammatory processes are thought to be the cause. [25] Transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy is the preferred method for treating pain associated with seminal vesicles. [26]
Chronic bacterial prostatitis is thought to be caused by ascending urethral infection and by reflux into the ejaculatory duct or prostatic ducts. [7] Risk factors for chronic bacterial prostatitis include functional or anatomic abnormalities, catheterization, prostate biopsy or urethritis (due to sexually transmitted infections), and unprotected penetrative anal sex. [7]
Gram-negative bacteremia occurs more frequently in elderly populations (65 years or older) and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in this population. [23] E.coli is the most common cause of community-acquired bacteremia accounting for approximately 75% of cases. [24] E.coli bacteremia is usually the result of a urinary tract ...
Usually, men will be able to observe a runny/fluid, low-volume semen by themselves during masturbation. Since the seminal vesicles contain a viscous, alkaline fluid rich in fructose, a chemical analysis of the semen of affected men will result in a low concentration of fructose and a low pH. A microscopic semen analysis will reveal aspermia ...
