“…The standardization of contraction intensity must be considered in order for contraction time to be meaningful. 21 In the current study, we measured the integrated EMG over a 10 s maximum effort and this approach produced good intra and interrater reliability (CCC = 0.80-0.92). However, this measure was poorly correlated with Levator ani testing (r 2 = 0.35), as these techniques measure different aspects of PFM function.…”

“…Although the PFMs are composed mainly of slow-twitch muscles, presumably needed to support the pelvic organs and promote urethral closure, 2 PFM endurance is rarely measured. 15,21 Some authors have measured PFM endurance though recording the duration a sustained maximal contraction can be held [15][16][17] however, contraction intensity is difficult to standardize using this approach. The standardization of contraction intensity must be considered in order for contraction time to be meaningful.…”

Manometry and dynamometry are more reliable tools than vaginal palpation for the assessment of PFM strength in women with pelvic floor disorders, especially when different raters are involved. The different PFM strength measures used clinically are moderately correlated; whereas, PFM activation recorded using transperineal sEMG is only weakly correlated with PFM strength. Results from perineal sEMG should not be interpreted in the context of reporting PFM strength.

Hematospermia or hemospermia is a clinical condition, which describes the presence of blood in the ejaculate. Although this rare disorder can be worrisome for patients, it is usually benign and selflimited. 1 That said, some patients may require further evaluation by a specialist when considered alongside other factors such as the patient's age (>40 years), recurrent episodes or persistent bleeding, prostate cancer risk or presence of constitutional symptoms. 2 Precise incidences of hematospermia are difficult to identify, as examinations of the semen are not usually made by the affected individuals, and there are few follow-up medical consultations. 3 The causes of hematospermia include the following: infections (bacterial, viral, and parasitic, eg, schistosomiasis); malignancy (prostate, bladder, testicular, seminal vesicles); iatrogenic (certain medications, prostatic massage, needle prostatic biopsy, and urological surgery); trauma (coital, perianal); ductal obstruction (cysts and/or calculi); systemic disorders (hypertension, amyloidosis, haemopathies, cirrhosis, hyperuricemia, among others); behavioral (excessive intercourse or masturbation, prolonged sexual abstinence); vascular (arteriovenous malformations, hemangioma); and idiopathic. 4 An appropriate treatment should be directed at the diagnosed etiology (eg, antibiotics, adequate control of systemic disorders, for example, hypertension, urological surgery, etc.). It is also important to rule out so-called pseudohematospermia in cases of haematuria or a partner's sexual bleeding (condom use can help rule out this possibility in such cases). 5 Hematospermia should also be distinguished from melanospermia, a very uncommon condition that occurs because of metastatic melanoma lesions in certain organs such as the prostate and seminal vesicles. 6 Nevertheless, although it is also a very rare clinical entity, the metastasis in seminal vesicles from a melanoma can also be the cause of hematospermia. 7 Herein, we report the case of a healthy 42-year-old male who presented two episodes of hematospermia in the last month. Among the clinical records, we can highlight hypertension, hyperuricemia, and vasectomy performed 3 years ago. A digital rectal examination was normal. Blood analysis, voided urine cytology, urine sediment, fluid seminal analysis, urine and seminal cultures were carried out. A blood analysis was unremarkable (including prostate-specific antigen [PSA] levels) except for the existence of hyperuricemia (7.9 mg/dL). The rest of the exams of the urine sediment, fluid seminal analysis, cultures for bacteria (included mycobacteria), chlamydia, trichomonas, and fungi were normal. Only in the urine cytology, the presence of two cellular groups of discohesive cells showing enlargement of nuclear size, anisokaryosis, hyperchromasia, and poorly defined scant cytoplasms with a high N/C ratio (Figure 1) were F I G U R E 1 Voided urine cytology showing seminal vesicle cells.
