Why do I have retrograde ejaculation? -
I-m almost 14 years old. Ever since I started ejaculating around a year ago, I-ve noticed that after I masturbate, some of my semen comes out when I urinate. Sometimes, only a little bit comes out when I urinate, and sometimes I ejaculate only a little, and more of it comes out when I urinate. I have no idea what could have caused it. I guess maybe I was born with it. I take a drug called 6MP, or Mercaptopurine because I have Crohn-s disease. I starting taking it several months before I noticed this problem. It-s an immuno-suppressant drug, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.Hey guy, that sucks. I also have bladder problems, and all the medication I took to help made me have retro ejaculations too(all sperm went to bladder), and it sucked for me. Check the side effects of the drug you are on, since the retro thing started after taking your medication for a while there could be a connection there. Or like you say it could be connected to the reason you are not peeing like you should be. You really need to talk to your doctor about this, he could possibly help with putting you on something else or explain to you why it could be happening. Hope it gets better for you guy.
Clearly, not all your sperm was ejaculated out when you climax. Some or most are still inside your urinary tract.
What is retrograde ejaculation?
During normal ejaculation, semen is propelled forward through the urethra and out the tip of the penis. In men with retrograde ejaculation, the muscle at the opening of the bladder, which usually stops semen from entering the bladder during orgasm, does not close normally. This allows semen to flow back into the bladder. Therefore little or no semen is discharged from the penis during ejaculation, and the first urination after sex looks cloudy as the semen mixes into the urine. This uncommon condition is harmless.
What can cause retrograde ejaculation?
Retrograde ejaculation can happen after surgery to the prostate or bladder neck. Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and some medications, in particular drugs to treat blood pressure can also cause it. It may be a temporary or permanent condition.
How is retrograde ejaculation treated?
Most men who have retrograde ejaculation do not need treatment. The important message is that it is not a sign of serious illness.
Men wishing to have a family may need to see a fertility specialist for assisted reproductive techniques if the cause of the problem is not reversible.
