Hematospermia is not uncommon. Patients who note blood in their semen experience anxiety because of a concern that their symptoms are due to malignancy. Since most cases resolve spontaneously, reassurance can usually be given. In most patients under age 30, hematospermia is idiopathic or associated with inflammatory or infectious conditions. When it occurs in association with other urologic symptoms, or when it persists in patients over age 40, more serious disorders must be considered.
血精并不罕见。精液中发现血液的患者会因担心症状由恶性肿瘤引起而感到焦虑。由于大多数病例会自行缓解，通常可以给予患者安慰。在大多数30岁以下的患者中，血精是特发性的，或与炎症或感染性疾病有关。当它与其他泌尿系统症状同时出现，或在40岁以上的患者中持续存在时，必须考虑更严重的疾病。
