August 11, 2011 By L. Carr, Associate Editor and Featured Columnist Blood coming from any part of your body is cause for alarm. And blood emerging from your ejaculation causes even greater anxiety. Men who notice blood in their semen, a condition also known as hematospermia, are naturally alarmed by the experience. Is blood in semen a sign of cancer? Does blood in your semen indicate a serious medical problem? Because many incidences of blood in semen go unnoticed, it's not clear how common this condition actually is. A 2004 study from the University of Innsbruck, Austria reported up to 36.3 percent of men who undergo a biopsy of the prostate develop blood in semen. The blood in the ejaculate, which is normally a cream-white color, can range from a hint of pink to brownish-red in tone. Regardless of the color, having blood in your semen is worrying. While many incidences of blood in semen are benign and not a cause for panic, blood in semen can be a sign that something is not normal. What are the Causes of Blood in Semen? Blood in your semen can signify a potentially serious medical issue that needs to be addressed, often immediately. For this reason you should see your healthcare provider as soon as possible if you spot blood in your semen. Remember that blood in semen can be nothing to worry about, but you should get checked out to make sure. The most common causes of hematospermia are conditions that affect the seminal vesicles (the tubes that carry the semen from the testicles) or the prostate glands. If you are under 40 and you find blood in your semen, chances re you have nothing to worry about. Blood in semen can also be caused by infections in the bladder, urethra, or testicles. According to research findings published by the Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle (2009), blood in the semen of men under the age of 40 is usually benign and requires no further treatment. But if you are over 40, and you find blood in your semen, then take steps. It may be caused by a sexually transmitted infection such as urethritis or a urinary tract infection. If you are over 40 report blood in the semen, the cause is usually prostate biopsy. However, it can also be a sign of prostate cancer especially if other symptoms accompany the blood such as fever, weight loss or bone pain. The listed conditions are often associated with hematospermia:
Top 10 Remedies for Blood in Your Semen Blood in semen is not, in itself, a medical condition, but rather a symptom of other health issues. So in order to rectify the problem you will need to address the issues causing the hematospermia in the first place. We’ve looked at the major causes of blood in semen and found out how the experts suggest we treat them. 1. Use Antibiotics and Natural Remedies to Treat Prostatitis and Get Rid of Blood in Semen Prostatitis, or the inflammation of the prostate, is a common cause of blood in semen. Because bacteria, some of which include E. Coli or Klebsiella, can cause this inflammation, you will need to take steps to clear up the infection. Treatment for prostatitis normally requires an oral antibiotic, such as ciprofloxacin or tetracycline, depending on the severity of your inflammation. At-home care includes pain medication, constant hydration, and uninterrupted rest. Once the inflammation caused by prostatitis dissipates, the blood in your semen should also disappear. Certain natural remedies have also been found effective in fighting prostatitis. Quercetin, for example, which is a bioflavonoid with reputed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. A 1999 study from the Institute for Male Urology, Encino, California reported that quercetin may be helpful for treating chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. Thirty men were given quercetin or a placebo for one month. Those taking quercetin showed a significantly greater improvement in symptoms. Selenium may also help prevent and treat chronic bacterial prostatitis. According to a 2011 study from St. Paul Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea College of Medicine, Suwon, Korea selenium can help prevent bacterial infection growth and have a preventative effect against prostatitis. And, according to 2006 research from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Beverly Hills, California an extract of grass pollen has been shown to be an effective treatment for non-bacterial prostatitis. In the six-month study the special grass pollen extract was more effective than placebo in treating the condition. The leaves of the cleavers plant are reported to be able to treat prostatitis, bladder infections and kidney stones. This plant apparently has diuretic effects. However, don't base your treatment on cleavers as there is no reliable evidence that the treatment actually works. 2. Let Blood in Semen Caused by Prostate Gland Biopsy Resolve Itself One of the most common causes of blood in semen is a complication of the prostate gland biopsy. According to a 2007 Department of Urology, University of California, San Francisco study, approximately 1 in 11 prostate biopsy patients will experience hematospermia. Symptoms will last around two weeks. Because it is simply a complication of the biopsy, the hematospermia should resolve itself in two weeks. 3. Unblock Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction to Stop Hematospermia If you experience an obstruction in your ejaculatory duct, you might also suffer from blood in your semen. Consequently, in order to ensure that you don’t have the pink to reddish tint in your semen, you will need to treat that obstruction. The primary method of treatment is transurethral resection of the ejaculatory ducts (TURED), which is a surgical procedure performed under anesthesia and lasts approximately an hour. Another alternative procedure, described in a 2011 study from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, China, is the dilation of the ejaculatory duct using F9 seminal vesicoscopy. Researchers concluded the procedure involving the dilation of the ejaculatory duct using F9 seminal vesicoscopy to be equally effective but with fewer postoperative complications than the TURED treatment. 4. Get Rid of Stones in Prostate to Eliminate Blood in Semen Prostatic or seminal calculi, similar to kidney stones that form in the prostate or the seminal vesicles, are another cause of hematospermia. A 1990 study from the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, UK found a significant number of the studied patients with hematospermia had prostatic calculi - 32 out of the 52 men studied --that's over 61%. Guys, these stones can cause many medical complications. Treatment of the stones usually requires surgical removal through an open vesisculectomy, an excision of the seminal vesicle to eliminate the stones. That's the bad news. The good news is that by treating these stones, you will also eliminate the symptom of blood in semen. A 2005 study from the Gülhane Military Medical Academy, School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey also recommends the use of endoscopic treatment for multiple prostatic calculi. 5.
