At 65 I was told I was "late" in getting BPH, but as anyone knows, better late but not better than never with this one. Anyway, I have tried Epsom Salt baths and UrinoZinc, as I did not like Tamsulosin at all. It made my breathing labored, and I don't like the idea of Retrograde Ejaculation. I have had painful external orgasms and urination, and although my enlargement is not that bad-the Urologist told me it was .5 and had others at 1 and 1.
Abnormal ejaculation includes ejaculation failure, ejaculation disorder, retrograde ejaculation, and ejaculation decrease.
You can consult your doctor and talk to him regarding decreasing the dose of Uromax or change to 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like Finasetride (Proscar) which can be used for BPH.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
i experienced what i think Retrograde ejaculation out of nowhere for the first time ever.
I orgasmed and no semen came out for a few seconds, and then just a little bit came out after several seconds. It was slightly painful, and im nervous about it...can it cause serious problems? Can it possibly kill me? please let me know...thank you.
huge PVR and potential complications. No apparent effect on the PVR or large doses of tamsulosin (2x0.4mg) and prostate too small for finasteride/dutasteride.
• Surgery went very well. Surgeon very well experimented and cautious (2000+ interventions)
• So far one complication: had to be re-catheterized the very same day they removed the 3 ways surgery cath as I could not urinate at all.
• 19 days after, I am drinking a lot (2-3l fluids), taking normal dose of tamsulosin in the evening (0.
Retrograde ejaculation is very common. During ejaculation, the sphincter muscle closes forcing the ejaculate out the urethra. When this muscle weakens, many times the semen goes into the bladder. Unless you want children, there is no harm. When you void you will see the semen in the urine. If you want children, the semen can be removed from the urine.
I hope this helps.
Hello,
Till the time you have Sildosin, retrograde ejaculation will persist. But this retrograde ejaculation is not permanent and should stop once you stop this drug. But due to retrograde ejaculation, fertility will be affected in the meantime.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Tansulosin rarely causes pain during ejaculation. “Tamsulosin may rarely cause a prolonged, painful erection. This could happen even when you are not having sex. If this is not treated right away, it could lead to permanent sexual problems such as impotence. Contact your doctor right away if this happens.” Refer: http://www.drugs.com/cdi/tamsulosin.html
Please consult your doctor and ask for a change in prescription.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.
My boyfriend had prostate surgery in 96 and has had retrograde ejaculation since. He still experiences orgasm, just without the ejaculation. And let me clarify...sometimes there is ejaculation - sometimes a normal amount, sometimes just a little but most of the time none.
His trouble with the retrograde ejaculation s the mental part of feeling like he isn't completing.....for me. I keep telling him, it's not a problem for me...less mess! lol. But, I also understand....
m worried about its effects on ejaculation. One of the things that keeps me from having too many prostatitis symptoms is regular and *satisfying* ejaculations. Sorry to be so specific and graphic, but this is the urology community.
Hi, this is a patient-to-patient forum, no doctors answer questions. That said, here's a good article about retrograde ejaculation. Read the whole thing and then have a talk with your doctor.

Why do you think there is urine and semen merged together. There is something called retrograde ejaculation but that is usually the reverse, sperm found in your urine (rather than urine in your sperm). Maybe it doesn't matter but many with this condition report 'dry orgasm'. This isn't you, correct? More information would be helpful. Here's information on that condition though. https://www.mayoclinic.
Hello,
I agree with the urologist because it can be retrograde ejaculation. Diabetes can cause neuropathy of the bladder sphincter and hence retrogarde ejaculation. Retrograde ejaculation caused by diabetes or surgery may be improved with a medication that improves the muscle tone of the bladder neck.
In addition he should control his blood sugar levels and do some kegel exercises to tone up the muscles.
Hi there,
It could be you had an episode of retrograde ejaculation. Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen goes into the bladder instead of leaving the penis during ejaculation.
During normal ejaculation, internal muscles, called spincters, close off the opening of the bladder to prevent semen from entering as it passes through the urethra.
I began to do more research and realized that I had retrograde ejaculation. I also noticed it seems to be worse when I was drinking. Which made it very fun in High School and College. Here is a list of things that could work for you
1) Pee before you have sex.. This gets the urine out of your bladder so that the sperm doesn't mix with your urine. People with Retrograde Ejaculation have probably seen sperm mixed in their urine after peeing after ejaculating.
I'm afraid i might get Retrograde Ejaculation since after that, my semen seem to be decreased. I'm not sure did my mood affects it or otherwise.
Some Advices is appreciated.
Common cause of such symptoms are ejaculatory duct obstruction, diabetes, medications for treating high blood pressure, prostate enlargement and mood disorders, retrograde ejaculation, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury or seminal vesicle obstruction. Urine analysis to see for diagnosis of retrograde ejaculation and testosterone levels should be done.
Please get it checked from a urologist.
I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
I am using Flowmax (Tamsulosin) for about 3 months for enlarged prostate. I started noticing my Testicles hang lower now and not tight anymore since I have been using this medication.. Could this be from the use of Tamsulosin?
I am a 54 years old, and have Type II Diabetes (since 1995), very poorly controlled. That's on me. My problem is that I have ED and Retrograde Ejaculation. I was married for 19 years, and my sex life during that time was not very good. Intercourse in the mission position maybe once a week, and masturbation in between. Very exciting right! NOT . Somewhere towards the end of my marriage in 2008 I started to get ED. I spoke with my doctor about it and he gave Levitra and Viagra.
I have been experiencing retrograde ejaculation from taking Flomax and Uroxatral for several years. Will normal ejaculation return if I stop the medication? How long will it take?
Hello,
Since you had recent surgery, so non ejaculation can be due to dry orgasm or retrograde ejaculation. It may be due retrograde ejaculation when the semen goes into the bladder instead of out through the penis. Common cause of such symptoms are ejaculatory duct obstruction, diabetes, medications for treating high blood pressure, prostate enlargement and mood disorders, retrograde ejaculation, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury or seminal vesicle obstruction.
Retrograde ejaculation, turp, and BPH MAY affect fertility, but it may not.

The only way to know is to have your doctor check.
If pregnancy is not desired by both of you, there is always emergency contraception.
I suppose I've been an "it" all my life, because I have an congenital version of retrograde ejaculation. I've seen a Urologist, had ultrasounds and MRI's, and there is nothing that can be done about it. The only way I could likely have a child is if they collect my urine after "ejaculation", separate the semen out and wash it, then turkey baste the batch into the woman.
