About Retrograde Ej*******on
Retrograde ej*******on is a condition that affects the normal ej*******on process in men. During a typical ej*******on, semen travels from the te**es through the ejaculatory ducts and exits the body via the urethra. However, in cases of retrograde ej*******on, the semen instead enters the bladder during or**sm.
Causes:
Various factors can contribute to retrograde ej*******on. Some common causes include:
1. Medical Conditions: Certain health conditions, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries, can disrupt the nerve signals responsible for controlling ej*******on.
2. Surgery: Procedures like prostate or bladder surgery can sometimes damage the muscles or nerves involved in ej*******on, leading to retrograde ej*******on.
3. Medications: Some medications used to treat high blood pressure, prostate enlargement, or mood disorders might interfere with the normal ej*******on process.
Symptoms:
The primary symptom of retrograde ej*******on is the absence of semen during ej*******on. Men experiencing retrograde ej*******on might still reach or**sm, but little to no semen is expelled from the p***s. Instead, they might notice cloudy urine after ej*******on due to the presence of semen in the bladder.
Diagnosis and Treatment:
A medical history review and physical examination often help diagnose retrograde ej*******on. We might also conduct tests like urinalysis after ej*******on to confirm the presence of semen in the urine.
Treatment options vary based on the underlying cause:
1. Medication Adjustment: In some cases, changing medications that could be causing retrograde ej*******on might help.
2. Fertility Concerns: For men trying to conceive, assisted reproductive techniques, such as collecting s***m from the urine after ej*******on, could be an option.
3. Nerve Stimulation: Techniques involving electrical stimulation of the nerves controlling ej*******on might be considered in specific cases.
