    Retrograde ejaculation after prostate surgery can be overcome. Spermatozoa retrieved from the bladder enabled a patient to father a child, with the recovery method detailed.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Andrology

    Background:

    • Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • Retrograde ejaculation is a frequent complication following TURP, where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting the penis.
    • This condition significantly impacts male fertility, posing challenges for conception.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with infertility secondary to retrograde ejaculation post-TURP.
    • The patient desired biological fatherhood despite the ejaculatory dysfunction.
    • Spermatozoa were successfully recovered from the patient's bladder.

    Findings:

    • A specific method for recovering viable spermatozoa from the bladder was successfully employed.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The recovered spermatozoa were utilized for assisted reproductive technology.
  • The patient's partner conceived, resulting in a successful pregnancy.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable fertility solution for men experiencing retrograde ejaculation after prostate surgery.
    • It highlights the potential for fatherhood even with significant ejaculatory disturbances.
    • The described recovery method can be a valuable addition to the management of male infertility in specific clinical scenarios.
