Reverse ejaculation is when semen is ejaculated back into the bladder without passing through the penis. Although some men are born with it, retrograde ejaculation is often caused by interference with the nerves that control the muscles at the base of the bladder and is acquired. During ejaculation, the muscles that control the bottom of the bladder usually close the bladder; when this muscle malfunctions, the bladder neck cannot close, and the semen ejaculated during orgasm is ejected back into the bladder. Neurological conditions, bladder neck surgery, prostate surgery, pelvic surgery, spinal cord injury, diabetes, or certain medications can cause damage to the nerves that control this muscle.
If the sperm test shows a low overall ejaculation volume, or if the urine is milky, then you may have retrograde ejaculation. A more accurate test is to take a urine sample immediately after ejaculation and then test it to see if there are many moving sperm.
The following drugs are effective in treating some men with retrograde ejaculation, such as ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, imipramine, and phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride. If the bladder neck muscles cannot be restored to function by taking the above medications, sperm can be collected from the bladder and intrauterine insemination can be performed.
There are two ways to collect sperm from urine: the simplest is to take bicarbonate (tablets) for 2 days to neutralize the urine, so that the acid in the urine will not affect the sperm. cause some damages. Urine is obtained immediately after ejaculation and then screened for healthy sperm.
Another more invasive method is to insert a catheter into the bladder, clean the bladder, and then inject some semen-protecting drugs. Urinate immediately after ejaculation or obtain urine through a catheter, and then obtain the healthiest sperm from that urine.
