  • Title: [Hemospermia: clinical study].
    Author: Soler Fernández JM, Herrera Puerto J, Asuar Aydillo S, Domínguez Bravo C, Laguna Alvarez E, Delgado Mije D.
    Journal: Actas Urol Esp; 1989; 13(5):371-4. PubMed ID: 2596356.
    Abstract:
    We present a clinical study of 29 patients with macroscopic hemospermia. The associated symptoms prevailed over monosymptomatic presentation. Urethral-prostate-vesicular inflammation was the most common etiology (55%). We single out the presence of a seminal vesicle cyst, two malignant urogenital tumours and one patient with presentation of the post-radiotherapy symptom. In 24% of the cases the cause was unknown. Diagnosis was done preferably by means of case clinic and sexual history, physical exploration, prostate/seminal vesicle echography and bacteriological-cytological study of the urine fraction plus semen. We carried out other diagnostic explorations on a selective basis. We consider hemospermia to be a benign symptom, although its presence requires the carrying out of a methodical series of explorations to rule out other pathologies of very diverse condition worthy to being taken into account.
