Abstract

Six hundred twelve patients with hematospermia were involved in a study to investigate the clinical and subclinical features of hematospermia. The average age of the patients was 39.42 ± 11.67 years. In the episodes of hematospermia, 22.45% of patients had a history of alcohol consumption. 16.25% of patients described a pattern of postponed or interrupted sexual intercourse before ejaculation. The rate of positive tuberculosis in PCR tests was 1.27%. 1.92% of patients had elevated total PSA. Positive culture accounted for 8.94 %. The testosterone level of these patients was relatively low for their age. While 26.01% of these patients had a decreased testosterone concentration (12.1nmol/L), 2.7% had low testosterone values (12.1 - 15 nmol/L).
