What are the risks of retrograde ejaculation?

Retrograde ejaculation may cause sexual dysfunction, urinary tract infections, psychological problems and increased risk of infertility.

1. Sexual dysfunction

Retrograde ejaculation may cause men to be unable to complete normal ejaculation, thus affecting sexual satisfaction and fertility.

2. Urinary system infections

Retrograde ejaculation may cause urine and semen to mix in the bladder, increasing the risk of urinary tract infections such as cystitis, prostatitis, etc.

3. Psychological problems

Retrograde ejaculation may cause anxiety and stress about sexual life in men, affecting mental health.

4. Increased risk of infertility

Long-term retrograde ejaculation may cause sperm to fail to enter the vagina, and may also cause damage to testicular spermatogenic cells, thus increasing the risk of infertility.
