Retrograde ejaculation


Can you tell me what exactly is retrograde ejaculation?

Normally the male ejaculates the sperm out of the urethra, located at the base of the penis. In a patient who has retrograde ejaculation, the sperm shoot backwards and enter the balder instead of the penis. This is not harmful or life threatening. It is only a problem if you are trying to conceive. The disorder is often linked to diabetes, high blood pressure, some medications and after certain surgery procedures. I can tell you right now, the problem is not easy to correct. In some cases, it spontaneously corrects.
