Everyone knows how men ejaculate when the body is working properly. But there are situations when sperm does not leave through the urethra, but enters the bladder. About what retrograde ejaculation is and the reasons for this process, methods of treatment later in the article.  

Can semen get into the bladder

If a man has certain problems with the body, the semen does not come out through the urethra, but goes in the opposite direction – sperm is thrown into the bladder. In this case, you will notice that the color of the urine becomes light and cloudy.

Retrograde ejaculation

This means that it contains a large amount of sperm. This is a clear sign of a problem, but, despite such disturbances in the body, libido, orgasm and potency remain normal. 

Retrograde ejaculation comes in several varieties:

• Partial. The semen enters the urethra as expected, but some goes to the bladder.
• Complete. The entire amount of sperm goes into the bladder.

If a man’s body works without interruption, then the sperm should go into the posterior urethra, and then enter the urinary tract. At the same time, the disease is rather difficult to independently diagnose, since retrograde ejaculation into the bladder usually does not lead to a complete absence of sperm ejection through the urethra, but only reduces it. But there are also cases when an orgasm takes place without semen at all. In this case, retrograde ejaculation is obvious.

Causes and symptoms of retrograde ejaculation

Main reasons:

• The person has experienced a neurological disorder such as multiple sclerosis, diabetic neuropathy, spinal cord or spinal cord injury.
• Pelvic venous congestion .
• The disease can develop after taking certain medications: an alpha blocker, antipsychotics, antidepressants, and antihypertensive drugs.
• Violation of the anatomy of the body after operations.
• Complications after prostatitis.
• Presence of urethral stricture or bladder neck sclerosis.
• Deviation in the formation of the reproductive system or congenital pathologies.
• Doctors assure that the disease begins to progress if a man has diabetes, problems after menopause or hemorrhoids.
• Often the cause of complications is the deliberate control of orgasm by a man. This happens if the guy suffers from premature ejaculation, and during intercourse he removes the climax in order to ejaculate with his partner.

Retrograde ejaculation is not a very dangerous disease, since sperm entering the bladder will not cause harm.

She just comes out when she goes to the toilet. At the same time, painful sensations are completely absent, but still there are several symptoms and one of them is quite dangerous:

• During retrograde ejaculation, sperm is released in too small amounts, or absent altogether.
• After sex, the semen enters the ureter , after which you can notice cloudy urination.
• Infertility is a serious symptom.

Diagnostic methods

To correctly lead the diagnostic procedures, you need to contact a specialist. He will prescribe the delivery of certain tests, after which he will examine the rectum, penis and scrotum.

Immediately after orgasm, you will need to pass a urine test. The procedures are carried out in a clinic, not at home in a jar. First, you will need to empty the urinary tract , then masturbate , and submit all this for examination. After examining the analyzes, the specialist must find out whether the man has been exposed to diseases of the genitourinary system and whether he has undergone surgery in the genital area.

Methods for treating retrograde ejaculation

If the disease does not interfere with the conception of a child, then procedures and tests are carried out slowly. Therapy is prescribed depending on the causes of the disease.

There are several methods of treatment:

• Prostate massage.
• Relaxing therapy.
• If necessary, surgery.
• Physiotherapy and pharmaceutical priming.

There is an alternative treatment option that you need to do on your own – sex with a full bladder. At this point, the valve will be closed and sperm will not be able to get inside.

Doctors prescribe the following drugs to treat a patient:

• Bromphenramine maleate .
• Ephedrine sulfate.
• Midodrin .
• Imipromin .

What to do if ejaculation is retrograde?

The peculiarity is that it is strictly forbidden to use such drugs if the patient has neurological or anatomical problems.

Preventive measures

To get rid of the possibility of getting the disease, doctors advise against taking antidepressants, and also eating sugar if diabetes is diagnosed.

Dangers

With retrograde ejaculation, there is only one serious danger – the appearance of infertility. If problems with conception have been noticed, you should immediately consult a doctor and not self-medicate retrograde ejaculation.

In other situations, no harm will be done to the body.
