Hematospermia in men may be caused by inflammatory conditions such as seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis, which require sufficient attention. It is recommended to seek medical care immediately for a thorough physical examination and necessary laboratory tests to determine the underlying cause. Under a doctor's guidance, anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered, which may include antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and other medications. Additionally, maintain good personal hygiene, avoid unclean sexual practices, and keep the genital area clean and dry. During treatment, abstain from sexual activity or masturbation to prevent worsening of the condition. Furthermore, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits—such as regular sleep patterns, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise—can also aid in recovery. Please follow your doctor’s advice and actively cooperate with treatment for a prompt recovery.
