Popis: | Haematospermia, blood in the ejaculate, is a symptom which provokes great anxiety in patients due to fears of malignant or sexually transmitted disease. However, there is no evidence from the published literature to associate it with any serious pathology. The large series of cases indicate that investigation is unproductive and that patients do not develop serious disease even after prolonged follow-up. Patients presenting with haematospermia warrant a full physical examination, including rectal examination, but in the absence of physical signs they should then be strongly reassured. Further investigation is unneccessary. Coexistent urological symptoms should be investigated appropriately. |
