Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Haemospermia is a concerning symptom with potential links to malignancy.
  • While often benign, 5-10% of cases may indicate underlying cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic approach for haemospermia.
  • To identify patient groups requiring further urological investigation.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination and urinalysis for younger patients.
  • Urological investigation for older patients or those with persistent symptoms/haematuria.
  • Transrectal ultrasound for imaging the prostate and seminal vesicles.

Main Results:

  • Younger patients often require only reassurance.
  • Patients over 40, or with persistent symptoms or haematuria, need urological workup.

  • Transrectal ultrasound is valuable for investigating these specific patient groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • A stratified approach to haemospermia diagnosis is essential.
    • Early urological investigation and targeted imaging can identify malignancy.
    • Transrectal ultrasound plays a key role in evaluating the prostate and seminal vesicles in at-risk patients.
