Clinical report about some cases with retrograde ejaculation

The incidence of retrograde ejaculation may be expected to increase by factors as a higher incidence of vascular- and colon-surgery, the increase of road accidents with as a result transversal lesions as well as the increased use of medicines particularly hypotensive drugs. After some remarks about the mechanism of ejaculation and the closing mechanism of the sphincter internus, some cases-histories are dealt with. After these case-histories, a survey is given about the etiology of the retrograde ejaculation. Finally some possibilities in treating this disorder are given, such as intravaginal deposit of urine after intercourse and the administration of a drug, called phenylpropanolamine, a so-called a-sympathicomimetic.
