Conditions
Retrograde Ejaculation
A rarerer variety of ejaculatory problem is one that causes retrograde ejaculation, where the sperm squirt backwards into the bladder, rather than outwards. An orgasm is still achieved, but there is very little semen produced. The cause of the condition is damage to the nerves surrounding the neck of the bladder, where the urethra and the bladder connect. Whilst normally semen cannot go back down the urethra, if the muscles or nerves are damaged then ejaculant can go backwards into the bladder. Common causes of the condition include diabetes, multiple sclerosis and surgery to the prostate gland. Treatment is not normally required, but if a man wants to have children, there are treatments that can strengthen the muscles and improve the flow of semen out of the end of the penis.

I am 61yo & suffered with Type 1 Diabetes for 37 yrs. In the last 5 yrs I have had Erectile Disfunction, even Levitra Tablets do not help. There is no semen ejaculation at all when orgasm is reached> I have read up on Retrograde Ejaculation, but there is no sign of semen in my urine, so what can the problem be ?? Is it a prostrate problem ??

Ever since I had a vasectomy I have been unable to reach orgasm through sex with my wife. If I masturbate it can often take over an hour until I orgasm. More often than not after I do orgasm I immediately feel the need to go to the toilet. All of this is really affecting my confidence & my relationship with my wife..
Im 14 and cant ejaculate, I hit puberty when i was about 13 and have armpit hair and pube hair. Im to embarresed to talk to my mam or dad about it. Help ?

Hi, I am 60 years old and have suffered for many years from a bifid stream when urinating. I had a series of bladder neck operations some years ago to try to correct the problem. However rather than solve the problem it caused me to have retrograde ejaculation and I still have the bifid stream. I wouldn't even mind that if it wasn't for the fact that when I orgasm it feels like there's an actual blockage and the semen can't go anywhere - and shortly afterwards I suffer a terribly painful debilitating soreness inside at the base of the penis. It completely ruins the pleasure of making love. Is there anything I can do?
