Chapter 1Retrograde ejaculationWhat is Retrograde Ejaculation?Retrograde ejaculation is a medical disorder when semen enters the bladder instead of going out through the urethra during ejaculation.Retrograde ejaculation (RE) occurs when the semen passes into the bladder rather than along the urethra.Retrograde ejaculation is uncommon.RE is a common type of ejaculatory dysfunction, but accounts for 0.3%-2% of infertility of males. This condition is marked by significant retrograde propulsion of seminal fluid into the bladder The bladder neck in the normal physiological condition closes with high pressure during ejaculation, forcing semen deposited into the posterior part of the urethra to flow forward through the urethra and out the urethral meatus It most often occurs when the bladder neck opening does not close.This causes semen to go backwards into the bladder rather than forwards out of the penis.What are the causes of Retrograde Ejaculation?CausesRetrograde ejaculation is common in the following situations:1. After most transurethral resections of the prostate2. After 40% of bladder neck incisionsRetrograde ejaculation may be caused by:1. Diabetes2. Some medicines including, drugs used to treat high blood pressure and some mood-altering drugs3. Medicines or surgery to treat prostate or urethra problemsWith impaired or absent bladder neck closure, semen in the early part of the urethra may be propelled along the path of least resistance into the bladderThe underlying causes of RE may be classified into pharmacological, neurogenic and anatomic causes 1. Pharmacologically-induced RE, is largely caused by psychotropic medications and alpha-adrenergic blockers2. Neurogenic causes are spinal cord
