Does retrograde ejaculation affect fertility?

Patient's question:

Does retrograde ejaculation interfere with conception? Medical history and treatment effectiveness: Does retrograde ejaculation interfere with conception? ?Does retrograde ejaculation interfere with conception?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, normal ejaculation is when semen is fully expelled from the urethral orifice. Usually, the internal urethral sphincter contracts during ejaculation to prevent semen from flowing back into the bladder. Whether or not conception occurs is related to the number and density of sperm in the semen, so retrograde ejaculation can interfere with fertility. It is recommended that you first identify the cause of retrograde ejaculation, and you can also test the number of sperm that flow out of the urethral orifice after ejaculation, i.e., a routine semen analysis. Then, based on the examination results, you can take appropriate treatment measures. If there is indeed an interference, as long as the sperm are not problematic, in vitro fertilization can be considered. Wishing you health.
