| Abstract | ||
| Aims: to investigate hematospermia & study its clinical significance. Patients & methods: a prospective study was carried out on 31 patients with hematospermia at Al-Yermouk Teaching Hospital between January 2007 & January 2009. All patients were clinically assessed & subjected to urinalysis & seminal fluid analysis. Other investigations were done according to individual cases. More than 90% 0f the patients had no prior genitourinary symptoms or significant factors in their history. Results: The etiology of hematospermia was determined & found to be of inflammatory and infective origin in most men especially the young. In 3 of the 31 patients studied, hematuria occurred with hematospermia & was associated with significant lower urinary tract abnormalities such as bladder tumor, however in none of these a relationship appeared between hematospermia & the disease process. Conclusions: From this study we can conclude that hematospermia is of no importance, does not progress, tend to disappear in the course of time & rarely is associated with any significant urologic pathology. | ||
