血精液症35例の経直腸的超音波断層法による検討

Abstract

1) A clinical observation was made on 35 cases of hemospermia. Transrectal ultrasonotomography was performed on them and the findings of the seminal vesicles and the prostate were evaluated. 2) Transrectal ultrasonotomography could detect abnormal findings of the seminal vesicles as well as seminal vesiculography. This method gave informations on the prostate simultaneously. 3) On more than half of these 35 cases of hemospermia, some abnormal findings on the seminal vesicles or the prostate were observed by ultrasonotomography. 4) Transrectal ultrasonotomography was less invasive than seminal vesiculography. From these viewpoints, we concluded that transrectal ultrasonotomography should be applied first to the patient with hemospermia instead of seminal vesiculography.
