Retrograde Ejaculation

What is Retrograde Ejaculation?

Retrograde ejaculation is when semen goes into the bladder rather than out of the penis during orgasm. Retrograde ejaculation does not affect your ability to get an erection or have an orgasm. Retrograde ejaculation is not harmful, but it can cause fertility problems.

What Causes Retrograde Ejaculation?

Improper bladder neck muscles, medications, and nerve damage to the muscles that control the bladder opening can cause retrograde ejaculation.

Other conditions that cause retrograde ejaculation are:

• Bladder neck surgery
• Prostate surgery
• Side effect of medications used to treat high blood pressure, prostate enlargement and mood disorders
• Nerve damage caused by diabetes, multiple sclerosis or a spinal cord injury

Symptoms of Retrograde Ejaculation?

The most common symptoms of retrograde ejaculation are:

• Dry orgasms
• Orgasms in which very little semen is ejaculation out of the penis
• Urine that is cloudy after orgasm because it contains semen
• Male infertility

Treatment options for Retrograde Ejaculation

Treatment options for retrograde ejaculation will depend on the cause. If retrograde ejaculation is caused by a medication, stopping the medication may be effective. If retrograde ejaculation is caused a health problem or surgery, medicine may restore normal ejaculation and fertility.

Complications of Retrograde Ejaculation

The most common complication of retrograde ejaculation is difficulty getting your partner pregnant.
