The meaning of retrograde ejaculation syndrome is that after orgasm, semen does not flow out of the urethral opening on its own, but instead reaches other tissues of the reproductive system in the body. Retrograde ejaculation is a difficult thing for many men to talk about, and when faced with this situation, they appear very anxious. Anyway, we need to first figure out what causes retrograde ejaculation and how to prescribe the right medicine.
How is retrograde ejaculation caused
1. Disease factors: In clinical practice, some patients with diabetes may induce reproductive system diseases, including retrograde ejaculation. At the same time, some patients have severe reproductive system inflammation, bladder stones, or urethral stricture caused by tumors, which increases the resistance and makes it impossible to discharge from the body normally during ejaculation. However, some patients may experience prolonged difficulty urinating due to disease factors, which can also cause a decrease in tension in the bladder neck tissue and result in closure weakness.
2. Mechanical factors: Patients with traumatic conditions may experience retrograde ejaculation due to increased urethral resistance, causing obstruction of semen during ejaculation in male patients. For example, male patients with traumatic pelvic fractures are a common factor leading to retrograde ejaculation, as patients with traumatic pelvic fractures can also cause posterior urethral injury and narrowing. At the same time, some patients who damage local tissues during treatment may also experience retrograde ejaculation.
3. Congenital factors: If males have congenital diseases, such as congenital wide bladder neck, congenital spina bifida, congenital urethral valve or urethral diverticulum, they can also cause incomplete bladder neck in male patients. At the same time, there is an increase in resistance for semen to pass through the urethral membrane, which can lead to retrograde ejaculation.
How to treat retrograde ejaculation syndrome
1. Surgical treatment
The indications for surgical treatment are those who have a history of bladder neck surgery and can undergo bladder neck Y-V shaping surgery, but the surgery can only be performed after the disease is diagnosed.
2. Drug therapy
The main indications for drug therapy are for patients with sympathetic nervous system dysfunction, who can be treated with adrenergic drugs or anticholinergic drugs depending on the specific situation. These drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to avoid unnecessary side effects.
Retrograde ejaculation caused by chronic infection can be treated with antibiotics such as norfloxacin and metronidazole. When the effect of taking Western medicine is not satisfactory, traditional Chinese medicine can be selected for treatment based on syndrome differentiation. The advantages of traditional Chinese medicine lie in holistic treatment and individualized treatment. Generally, ephedra, Forsythia suspensa, adzuki beans, Alisma, Quercus, Plantago asiatica, and Paeonia lactiflora can be used, which have a positive effect on improving symptoms and relieving the condition.
I believe everyone now has a certain understanding of retrograde ejaculation syndrome. In fact, some patients can completely avoid developing retrograde ejaculation syndrome as long as they pay more attention to personal hygiene and develop correct lifestyle habits in their daily lives. In addition, once suffering from retrograde ejaculation syndrome, it should be taken seriously and treated in a timely manner, otherwise it is likely to cause serious consequences.
