How does retrograde ejaculation occur?

The male orgasm is usually accompanied by the ejaculation of semen. This is enabled by a sphincter (circular muscle) located between the bladder and the prostate which  contracts during an orgasm. Its aim is to prevent a man to ejaculate and urinate at the same time. If the muscle is relaxed, it can cause that, instead of semen being expelled, a part of it is forced backwards. More precisely, into the bladder. Next time the man has to pass urine his urine will be cloudy because of the semen which traveled into his bladder during ejaculation. Retrograde ejaculation is therefore checked with the urine test.

What are the causes of retrograde ejaculation?

Retrograde ejaculation is not painful. For this reason, men become aware of the problem when their orgasms are not accompanied by semen. Retrograde ejaculation means the absence of semen but not an orgasm. A man still experiences an orgasm with the same intensity as before because the two processes are separate. There are several reasons for this condition. It can also be caused by medications for high blood pressure and the prostate, operative procedures in the region of sexual organs or the abdomen, and a spinal cord injury. Retrograde ejaculation can cause certain diseases as well. Among them, diabetes which can damage the nerves around the bladder. Diabetics are the largest group of men with retrograde ejaculation. Treatment, of course, depends on the cause.

Retrograde ejaculation can cause infertility

Retrograde ejaculation causes infertility problems in men. Although sperm is not expelled, men still produce it and they can also be fertile. The sperm can be extracted by physicians from the first urine after the last ejaculation. These sperm cells are used to artificially inseminate the woman.
