A condition in which, during orgasm in the male, the semen is expelled backward into the bladder rather than out of the urethral opening resulting in infertility.
The backward expulsion of semen into the bladder rather than out of the urethral opening.
Ejaculation in which semen, instead of spurting out from the penis during male orgasm, spills upwards into the bladder. Usually has a medically important cause, which requires investigation. Treatment can be successful by isolating spermatozoa from the urine and carrying out some form of assisted conception, such as assisted insemination or in vitro fertilisation.
Ejaculation that generally takes place with normal physical sensation, but without the normal flow of semen from the tip of the penis. May occur after prostate surgery.
A condition in which semen flows back into the bladder, instead of out of the penis, upon ejaculation; a common side effect of BPH surgery.
during ejaculation, the bladder neck closes allowing the ejaculate to be expelled at the tip of the urethra. In patients with epispadias, the bladder neck may be unable to close. All or part of the ejaculate enters the bladder and is not expelled. The semen therefore will be mixed with urine and is expelled when the patient voids the next time.
a condition whereby semen travels backwards through the male reproductive tract, instead of forward, through the urethra in the penis.
At male orgasm, the seminal fluid containing the sperm goes backwards into the bladder. Often suffered by diabetics and men with multiple sclerosis.
The products of ejaculation are not released normally but are deposited in the bladder. It may then be possible to isolate the sperm cells from the urine in the laboratory. to top of page
This condition causes a man's sperm to be diverted to his bladder during orgasm, rather than being released through the tip of his penis.
a condition in which, instead of ejaculating semen out of the penis during an orgasm, semen enters the bladder and is later flushed out through urination
Also called reverse ejaculation. This may occur after surgery for benign enlargement of the prostate. The ejaculate travels back into the bladder instead of exiting out through the penis. This means a man is infertile, but he can still achieve orgasm.
A condition where the semen flows backwards into the bladder rather than out of the penis during orgasm
Ejaculation backwards into the bladder instead of forward through the urethra.
When semen is ejaculated up into the bladder rather than out through the penis. This condition is considered harmless but it does produce infertility. It results from damage to the nerves that close the bladder opening, so ejaculation will go out through the penis. After TURP and other transurethral surgery, the bladder neck remains open during ejaculation, resulting in no external sperm discharge (dry pleasure).
Ejaculation of semen backward through the urethra into the bladder, instead of outside the body.
A male infertility problem in which sperm travelinto the bladder instead of out of the penis. This is due to a failure inthe sphincter muscle at the base of the bladder. Medical intervention is necessaryin order to conceive.
When semen travels up the urethra toward the bladder instead of outside of the body. Return to previous page
During sexual climax, semen normally leaves the ejaculatory duct and moves through the urine canal until it comes out the end of the penis. If a man's semen instead moves through the urine canal and ends up in the bladder, this is called retrograde ejaculation. If retrograde ejaculation occurs, the semen then leaves the body the next time the man urinates.
Discharge of semen backward into the bladder rather than forward through the penis.
semen enters the bladder during orgasm rather than being ejaculated from the penis
discharge of semen into the bladder rather than through the urethra and out of the body
Urine flowing backward into the bladder during orgasm. This may occur in men who have medical conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and prostate surgery or may be voluntary as a part of spiritual practices or to achieve the erotic sensation of ejaculating into the bladder.
A disorder of the male reproductive system in which the ejaculate flows backwards into the bladder rather than out through the prostatic urethra.
A condition in which semen enters the bladder during ejaculation instead of leaving the penis.
Also called reverse ejaculation. See 'dry ejaculation'.
When semen shoots backwards into the bladder, instead of down the urethra. Orgasm is still possible for men with retrograde ejaculation, but infertility usually results. Certain surgical procedures can result in retrograde ejaculation.
A condition in which semen enters the bladder during ejaculation and is later flushed out during urination
ejaculation of semen backward into the bladder instead of through the urethra and out of the penis.
A condition that occurs when, at orgasm, the ejaculate is forced back into the bladder rather than through the urethra and out the end of the penis.
Caused by the failure of the bladder neck to close during ejaculation allowing the ejaculate to be propelled into the bladder instead of out the penis.
An ejaculation where the semen goes into the bladder instead of being propelled through the urethra of the penis out the urethral meatus.
Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen is ejaculated into the bladder instead of exiting through the penis. Anatomically, the spermatic duct joins the path of the urethra for the semen to exit the body. Retrograde ejaculation is a malfunction in the valves that control the flow of urine versus semen through the urethra; this rare condition is sometimes the result of diabetes or the removal of the prostate gland. If a man's system operates as it should, the valve between the bladder and the urethra constricts during ejaculation or conversely, the valve between the vas deferens and the urethra closes during urination. Sperm can still be collected from the bladder although the urine may be toxic to the sperm. A man with retrograde ejaculation can empty his bladder and have a catheter inserted to fill the bladder with laboratory solution (media). Then, after ejaculation, the fluid is collected, the liquid removed and the sperm remains. More commonly, men are treated with oral sodium bicarbonate prior to collecting a sample to counteract the acidic nature of urine and convert it to a more alkaline state. After the urine is collected and using a centrifuge the sperm are harvested.
Release of semen backward into the bladder instead of forward through the urethra. The semen is later harmlessly flushed out during urination.
A male fertility problem where sperm travels into the bladder instead of out of the penis due to a failure in the sphincter muscle at the base of the bladder.
In males, retrograde ejaculation occurs when the fluid to be ejaculated, which would normally exit via the urethra, is redirected towards the urinary bladder. Normally the sphincter of the bladder contracts and the sperm goes to the urethra towards the area of least pressure. In retrograde ejaculation this sphincter does not function properly.
