What should I do if my semen is red?

Red semen generally refers to hematospermia, a condition characterized by the presence of blood in the semen, which can be caused by infections, organic lesions, or other factors. It can be managed through lifestyle adjustments, medication, or surgical treatment.

1. Lifestyle Adjustments

During treatment, it is important to maintain a positive mindset, get adequate rest, and avoid excessive fatigue. Light physical exercise is acceptable, but prolonged sitting or standing should be avoided. Maintain a light diet, reduce smoking and alcohol consumption, avoid frequent coffee intake, and consume more foods rich in protein and vitamins. Regularly monitor bodily changes, especially the color of semen, to check for recurrence of the condition.

2. Medication

If hematospermia is caused by inflammation, antibiotics may be prescribed under a doctor's guidance to reduce local inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if bleeding is severe, hemostatic medications such as vitamin K or carbazochrome tablets may be taken as directed by a physician.

3. Surgical Treatment

In cases where hematospermia results from conditions such as phimosis or redundant foreskin causing bleeding due to traction, timely surgical intervention may be recommended after medical evaluation. Symptoms typically improve significantly after surgery.

During treatment, maintain a positive mindset, ensure sufficient rest, avoid overexertion, engage in moderate physical activity, and avoid prolonged sitting or standing. Follow a light diet, minimize smoking and drinking, avoid frequent coffee consumption, and eat more protein- and vitamin-rich foods. Seek prompt medical attention if bleeding is significant or if blood clots appear.
