Patient's question:
Before having sex with my girlfriend, I often didn't have semen discharge after reaching climax, and I had started to take it for granted. Now, more than a year after getting divorced, my ex-wife hasn't been able to get pregnant. Later, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and the doctor said it was retrograde ejaculation causing infertility. I'm confused. Is retrograde ejaculation something that needs to be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, retrograde ejaculation requires treatment. The treatment principles are different depending on the cause of retrograde ejaculation, and the treatment methods vary accordingly. The main methods include:Medication Therapy: The primary indication for medication therapy is patients with sympathetic nerve dysfunction. Adrenergic drugs can be used, or anticholinergic drugs may be administered based on specific conditions. These medications should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to avoid unintended side effects. If retrograde ejaculation is caused by medication, it can gradually return to normal after discontinuation.
Massage Therapy: Massage therapy is a treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. For retrograde ejaculation, the acupuncture technique involves "rubbing the center of the abdomen" (). This technique can nourish the kidneys and bladder, thereby achieving the goal of treating retrograde ejaculation.
