Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Urology
  • Infertility Management

Background:

  • Retrograde ejaculation is a condition affecting male fertility, often resulting from bladder or prostate surgery.
  • Primary infertility in a couple was diagnosed, stemming from the male partner's complete retrograde ejaculation.

Observation:

  • The male patient, with a history of childhood bladder surgery, experienced complete retrograde ejaculation.
  • A novel home-based protocol involved alkalinizing urine, collecting a urine-semen mixture post-intercourse, and intravaginal insemination by the female partner.

Findings:

  • The couple successfully conceived two healthy children using this noninvasive protocol.
  • The timing of intercourse was optimized using the ovulation (Billings) method.
