Retrograde Ejaculation

Certain medication, surgeries, or health conditions can affect the nerves or muscle that control the bladder opening causing retrograde ejaculation.
Retrograde Ejaculation Definition
Retrograde ejaculation is release of semen into the bladder instead of through the penis during orgasm resulting in the ejaculation of very little or no semen.
Retrograde Ejaculation Diagnosis
After ejaculation, the doctor examines the patient's urine for the presence of sperm. However, if there is no semen but the patient has a dry orgasm, it may be due to a problem in the patient's semen production.
Retrograde Ejaculation Symptoms and Signs
There is little or no semen after orgasm and when urinating, the urine is cloudy due to semen. It also results in male infertility.
Retrograde Ejaculation Treatment
If the condition interferes with a patient's fertility, treatment is focused on the underlying cause. If certain medications is causing retrograde ejaculation the doctor may recommend stopping or changing the condition. The condition may also be reversed through medication that are primarily used to treat other conditions, which close the bladder neck muscle during ejaculation. These medications however, may have minor or serious side effects.
