Retrograde ejaculation Information

In males, retrograde ejaculation occurs when the fluid to be ejaculated , which would normally exit via the urethra, is redirected towards the urinary bladder . The condition is relatively uncommon and may occur either partially or completely. The presence of semen into the bladder is harmless. It mixes into the urine and leaves the body with normal urination. Retrograde ejaculation isn't harmful. But it can impair fertility.

Men with retrograde ejaculation can still have orgasms.
