Patient's question:
I've been married for over a year, and lately, my health has been getting worse. I'm finding it difficult to perform well in bed. Recently, I've decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor recommended a thorough examination for retrograde ejaculation, which is a check-up after ejaculation. Could you please tell me if this kind of examination is harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
Retrograde ejaculation may lead to conditions such as prostatitis, epididymitis, and potentially acute cystitis, among others. If it occurs repeatedly, it can affect future fertility. It is usually related to prolonged abnormal retention of semen. It is necessary to visit a hospital to determine the specific cause. If it is a prostate disease, anti-inflammatory treatment is required. If it is caused by abnormal organ development or structure, surgical correction may be needed. During sexual activity, avoid intentionally holding back semen.
