Prostatitis
One potential cause of sperm in urine is a swelling or inflammation of the prostate gland, known medically as “prostatitis.” The prostate gland helps with the manufacturing and release of semen, and certain medical conditions may lead to long-term and severe swelling of this gland. During urination, the bladder contracts and bumps up against it, for instance. This can cause a small amount of semen to be released at the same time as urine or shortly thereafter. Urine usually appears cloudy if enough semen is present, which is one of the first signs men may get that something isn’t quite right.
Prostate swelling can also sometimes occur if men fail to ejaculate often enough. Although this may take a while to develop, men who constantly become aroused but then fail to either engage in sexual intercourse or masturbation in order to achieve orgasm may have excess semen stored in the prostate gland. This is typically not a serious condition and is not considered full-blown prostatitis. The cure in this case is typically ejaculation, and the swelling will typically go away on its own in these instances. |
