Medical Video: 10 Reasons For Bleeding During Or After Sex ✔
One easy way to maintain penis health is by cleaning this important organ every time you finish urinating or having sex. Another way is to pay attention to what happens to the penis. One of the things that often makes anxious men is when the penis bleeds after sex. This could be a sign of a more serious condition.
In some cases the penis is bleeding, usually bleeding will stop by itself, but if it continues or something worse happens. You should immediately consult a doctor to find out the cause of bleeding.
What causes the penis to bleed after sex?
Bleeding from the penis usually comes from fragile blood vessels in the prostate. The prostate helps produce fluids that fertilize and protect sperm. When ejaculation occurs, the prostate secretes this fluid towards the urethra. The liquid released will flow along with sperm as semen.
Ejaculation during sex makes the prostate contract and causes the blood vessels in the prostate to become brittle and tear so that blood mixes with semen. This condition is commonly called hematospermia.
Not only after sex, the penis comes out of blood, you can also experience it at the beginning or at the end when you urinate. Sex without ejaculation, excessive intake of spicy foods can also cause your penis to bleed. Irritation of the prostate gland can also cause inflammation which increases the risk of bleeding. Not only that, alcohol, riding a bicycle or similar activities can also increase the risk of bleeding penises after sex.
As we get older, the blood vessels in the prostate will enlarge and tear more easily. Antibiotics and proscar are commonly prescribed to reduce these symptoms.
Too excited during sex and too long not having sex can also cause the penis to bleed after sex
A man who has not had sex for a long time, will usually be prone to having a penis bleeding after sex. Men who experience this will feel pain when ejaculating and expelling blood after ejaculation.
There are various conditions that cause the penis to bleed after sex. In most cases, irritation of the prostate and urethra due to sexual activity is the cause. This happens because sex is too 'excited' or the man who rarely has sex. Rest usually can reduce symptoms caused by this condition.
Mild bleeding after sex may also occur due to inflammation of the prostate, especially if you feel pain during ejaculation. This is more common in older men. The doctor will do a routine check to see if the prostate is inflamed or brittle. If pain is found during the examination, the doctor will take action to prevent further 'damage'.
Urinary tract infections also cause your penis to bleed
Why does a urinary tract infection cause the penis to bleed? Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a condition when organs belonging to the urinary system, namely the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, experience infection. The infection causes damage, swelling, and bleeding in parts of the urinary system so that the urine released contains blood.
