Seminal vesiculitis (also known as spermatocystitis) is an inflammation of the seminal vesicles, most often caused by bacterial infection. [15] Symptoms can include vague back or lower abdominal pain; pain of the penis, scrotum or peritoneum; painful ejaculation; blood in the semen on ejaculation; irritative and obstructive voiding symptoms ...
An acidic seminal pH (pH < 7.2) suggests damage to the seminal vesicles and an alkaline seminal pH (pH > 8) suggests prostatic involvement. [2] In addition, low fructose may indicate problems in the prostate, while low semen pH may indicate problems related to the [seminal vesicles]. Obstruction of the seminal vesicles results in low semen ...
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), also known as fibrous tumor of the pleura, is a rare mesenchymal tumor originating in the pleura [1] or at virtually any site in the soft tissue including the seminal vesicle. [2] Approximately 78% to 88% of SFT's are benign and 12% to 22% are malignant. [3]
TRUS plays a key role in assessing azoospermia caused by obstruction, and detecting distal CBAVD or anomalies related to obstruction of the ejaculatory duct, such as abnormalities within the duct itself, a median cyst of the prostate (indicating a need for cyst aspiration), or an impairment of the seminal vesicles to become enlarged or emptied.

Azoospermia is the medical condition of a man whose semen contains no sperm. [1] It is associated with male infertility, but many forms are amenable to medical treatment.In humans, azoospermia affects about 1% of the male population [2] and may be seen in up to 20% of male infertility situations in Canada.
The development of the reproductive system is the part of embryonic growth that results in the sex organs and contributes to sexual differentiation.Due to its large overlap with development of the urinary system, the two systems are typically described together as the genitourinary system.
Vasography with a prostatic cyst and seminal vesicles filled with iodinated contrast. Vasography is an X-ray study of the vas deferens to see if there is blockage, oftentimes in the context of male infertility. [1] An incision is made in the scrotum, contrast is injected in the vas deferens, and X-rays are taken from different angles. [1]
Spermatocele is a fluid-filled cyst that develops in the epididymis. [3] The fluid is usually a clear or milky white color and may contain sperm. [4] Spermatoceles are typically filled with spermatozoa [5] and they can vary in size from several millimeters to many centimeters.
