Male organ pain Due to Seminal Vesicle Stones: How Common Is It?
by John Dugan OwnerKidney stones most people
know about, but stones can also develop in other parts of the body. Sad to
report, one of the areas where they can potentially develop are in the seminal
vesicles. Although such cases are (fortunately) extremely rare, it’s important
for men to know about them in the event that they find their male organ health
impacted by their unwanted presence.
What are they?
The seminal vesicles (also known as seminal glands or vesicular
glands), are a pair of tubes located in the pelvis which are located just
beneath the bladder. Although small, they play a big role, providing
between 70% and 85% of the reproductive fluid.
Each of the vesicles is about 2 to 2.75 inches long and about half
that in width. They are managed by hormones, especially androgen. Without
androgen, the vesicles would basically just wither away.
Stones
Also called seminal vesicle calculi, seminal vesicle stones were
first reported in the medical literature in 1928. But there haven’t been many
cases reported – only about 100 or so over the succeeding decades, mostly
occurring in men between the ages of 30 and 45. That doesn’t mean
there haven’t been more cases out there (or that younger and older men are
exempt from them); it only means more haven’t been reported to medical
journals. And there may be many cases that men don’t even report to their
doctors. But even taking that into consideration, seminal vesicles stones are
not likely to be common.
What are these stones formed of? These smooth, hard stones are
usually formed of various proteins (which may occur naturally in the seminal
vesicles). Sometimes phosphate or calcium may be the culprit. Because the
seminal vesicles themselves are small, any stones that form there are likely to
also be small. The larger the stone, the more pain it is likely to cause.
Presentation
In most cases, men with seminal vesicle stones have experienced
passing stones while coming. This is often accompanied by pain during the
passing (and often prior to the passing) as well as by evidence of blood in the
emission. Often, a man with these stones may also experience a need to urinate
with greater frequency than in the past.
The degree of pain associated with these stones can vary
significantly. Some men have live with them for years before visiting a doctor,
indicating a general low level of pain with some unpleasant peaks which
motivated seeking help.
In cases in which the stones create significant blockage of
seminal fluid, infertility may result. (This is usually reversed if the
blockage is removed.)
Treatment
Many cases of seminal vesicle stones are transient and resolve in
a short period of time. When they are long lasting or severe enough to warrant
medical attention, some form of surgical intervention is often required. This
can be invasive, due to the small size of the vesicles themselves and their
location in a crowded section of the anatomy.
Seminal vesicle stones are not an issue that needs to concern most
men – who instead should concentrate on maintaining a productive male organ
health regimen. Part of this regimen should include the daily application of a
first rate male organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man
1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). The best
cremes will contain two key ingredients – L-arginine and L-carnitine.
L-arginine is a wonderful amino acid which helps boost the body’s production of
nitric oxide, thereby better enabling the blood vessels to receive increased
blood flow. L-carnitine has neuroprotective properties, and these can be
helpful in maintaining adequate sensitivity in instances in which the member
has been roughly or aggressively handled.
