High But Dry: What To Do When Retrograde Ejaculation Leaves You Wanting More

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener's question about what may be causing his "dry orgasms." This condition is referred to as "retrograde ejaculation" and occurs when semen is redirected into the bladder instead of out the tip of the penis as with a typical orgasm. While there can be a few causes of retrograde ejaculation, far and away the most common cause is medication. Tamsulosin and Silodosin, which are prescribed for enlarged prostate, are frequent offenders, but sometimes antidepressants can be at fault, too. If the cause is not a medication, it is possible a neurologic issue could be the culprit. Sometimes abnormal musculature leads the neck of the bladder to fail to close during an orgasm as it should and the semen is redirected there. Diabetes can be also play a role in developing abnormal bladder musculature, as can back surgeries or other catastrophic neurologic issues. Crucially, however, the listener should be aware that ejaculation itself contributes very little to the experience of orgasm and therefore isn't necessarily a problem. There are supplements and medications prescribed off-label that we use at NAU Urology Specialists to help enhance orgasmic sensation, however, so if you or your loved one are not getting as much bang for your buck as it were than you used to, please give us a call today.
