Question 1

my husband may have seminal vesiculitis, we are trying for a baby. is there any chance  this could cause infertility?

Accepted Answer

Seminal vasculitis?: Assuming you meant vasculitis I would say yes it may cause infertility. But need much more information. I would not use it as a method of birth control however. Has a sperm count etc. been done?l  The cause of the vasculitis/vesiculitis needs to be defined and treated.

Question 2

can prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis cause penile numbness?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Numbness of the penis can occur with low testosterone levels, nerve injury, neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis or scar tissue within the penis. If you have this symptom, I think you should start with an exam by a urologist. Depending upon findings you may then be referred to a neurologist.

Question 3

what is the cure for vesiculitis?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Cure is a thing of the impossible, but can be modified and controlled for most of times, not always because it's hard to make a clinical diagnosis of vesiculitis. However, a tissue specimen from transrectal prostate biopsy may include a portion of seminal vesicle, which microscopically shows  the features of inflammation. Which one is it? The key point lies on if you need Rx clinically. So, ask dr

Question 4

what is vesiculitis?

Accepted Answer

Here are  some...: Vesiculitis denotes the occurrence of inflammation of seminal vesicles which may be caused by bacterial infection or unknown cause, is a rare diagnosis which is probably deduced from clinical suspicion, suspicion on digital rectal exam, and / or imaging studies such ultrasound or CT or MRI. Ask the treating doc for individual details timely.

Question 5

what causes seminal vesicle enlargement?

Accepted Answer

Duct obstruction: Ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO) is a congenital or acquired pathological condition which is characterized by the obstruction of one or both ejaculatory ducts. Thus, the efflux of (most constituents of) semen is not possible. It is a cause of male infertility and / or pelvic pain.  This can cause enlargement of the seminal vesicles.  See a urologist.

Question 6

can a hernia give you seminal vesaculitis?

Accepted Answer

No..: ..The hernia won't cause the inflammation, but it could cause some further discomfort. You should see a urologist to discuss the problem, as your semen is definitely not normal. Good luck.

Question 7

hello doctors! is seminal fluid the same thing as semen?

Accepted Answer

: Many use the terms interchangeably. They are the same thing.

Question 8

is there a difference between seminal fluid and ejaculation?

Accepted Answer

Component of semen.: The ejaculate, or semen, is made up of sperm from the testicles & fluids from the seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral glands. The seminal fluid is a viscous fluid rich in fructose, making up the bulk of semen. The prostate adds a thin white fluid containing enzymes, citric acid, and lipids. The bulbourethral glands add a clear fluid. Ejaculation is the act of discharging semen.

Question 9

since the seminal vessicles prduce 70 % of all semen, is there any way to speed of the production?

Accepted Answer

No: You may be mistaken here, the majority of semen is not sperm.  About 90+% of semen are fluids that are produced outside of the testicle, primarily from the prostate gland.  This fluid is stored in the seminal vesicle and can be replaced likely very quickly.

Question 10

what could it mean when one has low seminal fluid output? used to come out like a fountain....not anymore

Accepted Answer

Maybe prostate issue: Any difficulties urinating as well? You should see a urologist to further evaluate. Your prostate might be enlarged
