    Macroscopic hemospermia, or blood in semen, often presents with other symptoms. While frequently benign, investigations are crucial to rule out serious underlying conditions like inflammation or tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Andrology

    Context:

    • Macroscopic hemospermia affects patients presenting with associated symptoms more than isolated occurrences.
    • Urethral-prostate-vesicular inflammation is the predominant etiology in 55% of cases.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the clinical presentation, etiology, diagnostic methods, and outcomes of macroscopic hemospermia.
    • To evaluate the significance of associated symptoms and identify potential underlying pathologies.

    Summary:

    • A study of 29 patients revealed urethral-prostate-vesicular inflammation as the most common cause (55%).
    • Other identified etiologies included seminal vesicle cysts, urogenital tumors, and post-radiotherapy symptoms.
    • In 24% of cases, the cause remained unknown.
    • Diagnosis relied on clinical history, physical examination, ultrasound, and microbiological/cytological analysis.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of a systematic diagnostic approach for hemospermia to exclude diverse and significant pathologies.
    • Emphasizes that while often benign, hemospermia warrants thorough investigation.
