About Hematospermia

Hematospermia, the presence of blood in semen, is a symptom, not a procedure itself. A urologist performs a diagnostic evaluation to identify the underlying cause. This typically involves a detailed medical history, physical examination, and may include tests like urinalysis, semen analysis, imaging (such as a transrectal ultrasound), or cystoscopy. The goal is to rule out serious conditions like infections, inflammation, prostate issues, or, rarely, tumors. Most cases are benign and self-limiting, but a thorough urological assessment provides peace of mind and guides appropriate management, which may range from simple observation to specific treatments based on the diagnosis.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
