Patient's question:
What is retrograde ejaculation? What are the symptoms of retrograde ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, under normal circumstances, during male sexual response climax ejaculation, semen is expelled from accessory reproductive organs into the prostatic urethra and moves forward through the membranous urethra, exiting through the urethral meatus. If semen is retroejaculated into the bladder instead of being expelled forward through the urethra, it is referred to as retrograde ejaculation. The causes include: paralytic weakness of the bladder neck and increased resistance in the membranous urethra. Clinical manifestations include: during intercourse, there is a sensation and action of ejaculation, but semen is not expelled from the urethral meatus; after ejaculation, the patient's urine is cloudy and foamy; urine tests reveal a large number of sperm. Based on your description, it is recommended that you carefully observe, consider your own situation, and seek medical attention at the urological department when necessary, following the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Wishing you good health.
