Emerging Treatments for Persistent Hematospermia: What's on the Horizon?

Finasteride: A Promising Option

Finasteride, a medication often used to treat prostate issues, shows potential for managing persistent hematospermia. In studies, it resolved symptoms in 67% of treated patients. This offers a non-invasive option for those not responding to traditional management strategies.

Laser Therapy: Precision Treatment

Endoscopic holmium laser therapy is gaining attention for its ability to address structural causes of hematospermia. This minimally invasive procedure can resolve symptoms by targeting obstructions or calculi in the ejaculatory ducts. It's a promising option for patients with persistent symptoms.

Continuous Antibiotic Infusion

For cases linked to infections, continuous antibiotic infusion via transrectal ultrasound-guided catheterization shows potential. This approach has achieved high success rates, offering a targeted treatment for refractory cases, even when no bacterial infection is documented.
