Retrograde ejaculation

Alternative names:

ejaculation retrograde

Treatment:

If retrograde ejaculation is caused by drugs, removal of the specific drug may resolve the condition. Retrograde ejaculation caused by diabetes or following genitourinary tract surgery may be responsive to the use of epinephrine-like drugs (such as pseudoephedrine or imipramine).

Expectations (prognosis):

Some forms of retrograde ejaculation may not be reversed with current treatment regimens.

Complications:

The condition may cause infertility.

Calling your health care provider:

Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are having difficulty conceiving a child.
