Seminal fluid infections: orchitis, epididymitis and prostatitis

-

Semen infections are those invasions of pathogenic microorganisms that occur somewhere in the reproductive and male urinary system, so they may be present in the seminal fluid. They can affect the testicles, causing orchitis, the epididymis causing epididymitis, or prostatitis if it occurs in the prostate.

In the path that the sperm and seminal fluid must follow to go outside, there will be contact with the infected area, which may alter the capacity of the sperm to fertilize the ovule. Also, the inflammation due to the infection can cause an obstruction and prevent the exit of the sperm or the ejaculate.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Infections of seminal fluid: orchitis, epididymitis and prostatitis

How can I know if I have a seminal infection?

It is rare that seminal infections cause symptoms, so it is possible that these remain undetected for a long period of time. Precisely because of this they can lead to male infertility.

Even so, sometimes man can notice:

  • Changes in semen, such as its smell and color.
  • Irritation and itching
  • Burning when urinating.
  • Secretion of fluid through the urethra.
  • Blood in the seminal fluid.
  • Inguinal or genital pain, whether of prostate, testicular, etc.

If any of these symptoms exist, it is important to avoid sexual intercourse and consult the doctor immediately to request an analysis of semen and urine.

Since most of the time the man does not know that he has an infection, it is very common to be detected after going to the doctor for infertility of the couple.



Seminal vesiculitis

Seminal vesiculitis is the inflammation of the seminal vesicles. Generally this inflammation is due to the extension of an infection of another area of ??the genitourinary system, such as, for example, prostatitis, urethritis or epididymitis. On very rare occasions it is an independent disease.

It can be a cause of male sterility, as it can affect the quality of sperm.
