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

Rahul Mehta, a 42-year-old software engineer...

Rahul Mehta, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two young children, noticed a single episode of blood in his semen. A private and anxious man, he spent two sleepless weeks researching online, convincing himself it was prostate cancer. His family doctor referred him to a urologist. The urologist, noting Rahul's age and lack of other symptoms, recommended a non-invasive approach first: a urinalysis to check for infection and a PSA blood test. Both came back normal. The doctor explained that isolated hematospermia is often benign, likely from a small ruptured blood vessel. He advised monitoring and reassurance. Rahul felt immense relief but needed the confirmation. He followed up in 6 weeks, and the symptom had completely resolved without recurrence. Emotionally, he journeyed from silent terror and isolation, fearing for his family's future, to profound relief and a lesson in not catastrophizing. He now advocates for men to see a doctor promptly instead of suffering in silence.
