Ectopic erectile tissue in the posterior urethra can cause retrograde ejaculation. Surgical resection of this tissue successfully restored antegrade ejaculation in a patient.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Retrograde ejaculation is a condition affecting male fertility.
  • Ectopic tissue in the posterior urethra is a rare cause of ejaculatory dysfunction.

Observation:

  • A case presented with retrograde ejaculation attributed to ectopic erectile tissue within the posterior urethra.

Findings:

  • Transurethral resection of the identified ectopic erectile tissue was performed.
  • The surgical intervention successfully resolved the retrograde ejaculation, restoring antegrade ejaculation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a treatable cause of male infertility.
  • Transurethral resection is an effective treatment for retrograde ejaculation caused by ectopic urethral tissue.
