Retrograde ejaculation, a common complication after prostatectomy or due to diabetic neuropathy, is diagnosed by finding sperm in urine. Treatment involves medication, sperm retrieval with intrauterine insemination, or surgical options.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Andrology

Background:

  • Retrograde ejaculation is the failure of the normal ejaculatory mechanism.
  • It commonly occurs after transurethral prostatectomy, retroperitoneal lymph-node dissection, and diabetic neuropathy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the diagnosis and management of retrograde ejaculation.
  • To explore treatment options when pharmacologic interventions fail.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis is confirmed by the absence of sperm in antegrade ejaculate.
  • Sperm presence in post-masturbatory urine is a key diagnostic indicator.

Main Results:

  • Pharmacologic treatments aim to restore antegrade ejaculation.

  • If medical treatments fail, sperm recovery from urine is pursued.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sperm recovery from urine followed by intrauterine insemination is a primary treatment strategy.
    • Surgical alternatives for retrograde ejaculation are also considered.
