Retrograde ejaculation? Hmm, what could it be? This article will show us all about what happens when someone suffers from retrograde ejaculation and how that condition affects UTI and patients suffering from UTI. What is retrograde ejaculation and is it bad? Retrograde ejaculation is a condition that happens in men when sperm enters the bladder instead of coming out of the penis. Retrograde ejaculation is most often caused by a problem with the bladder muscles. Usually, when you have an intimate relationship with a partner, the small sphincter muscle of the bladder keeps your bladder closed. Retrograde ejaculation is not harmful, it does not affect your ability to achieve an erection or experience an orgasm. However, they can cause problems for patients suffering from UTI. We will research and show that here. What causes retrograde ejaculation? Retrograde ejaculation can be caused by many factors. Retrograde ejaculation can be caused by Parkinson's disease because the nerves that control bladder emptying weaken. Diabetes is also one factor that can cause retrograde ejaculation. In addition, high blood pressure medications (such as Cardura and Minipress), prostate enlargement medications (Flomax, Cardura), mood-altering medications (such as Prozac and Zoloft), and antipsychotic medications such as Thorazine, Mellaril, and Risperdal ) can also cause retrograde ejaculation. This condition can also be caused by spinal cord injuries and can occur after spinal surgery, prostate, urethral, or bladder surgery. Multiple sclerosis can also be the cause of retrograde ejaculation, as well as damage to prostate tissue by radiotherapy. There is no possibility that healthy people have retrograde ejaculation. Retrograde ejaculation is a disorder at the level of the bladder neck, when the sperm, instead of being pushed through the penis into the external environment, returns to the bladder. Can retrograde ejaculation cause UTI? Yes, retrograde ejaculation can cause UTIs. We will now explain how this can happen. Sperm is an integral part of semen, but semen is not part of sperm. The semen consists of enzymes, sugar, water, protein, zinc, and sperm. During ejaculation, small amounts of calcium, simple sugars, and very little magnesium are excreted, which is approximately as many nutrients as there are in half a drop of milk. Fructose is the largest component of sperm. If there is an absence of fructose in the sperm, it means that there is an obstruction or absence of the vas deferens The vas deferens is a vapor canal that carries sperm from the testicles to the canal through which it is expelled to the external environment. The vas deferens is an integral part of the male reproductive system. The return of sperm to the bladder can cause UTIs due to the presence of sugars in the sperm. These sugars attract many UTI-causing bacteria. This can lead to their deposition and multiplication of these bacteria that cause UTIs. Studies have shown that bacterial contamination of semen is common. These bacteria can cause UTIs. These are, for example, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and others. If a person has retrograde ejaculation, and there is an increased number of bacteria in the sperm and has an infection, it means that after the return of sperm to the bladder, bad bacteria will pass and UTI may develop. Can UTI cause retrograde ejaculation? UTI is not the main reason for causing retrograde ejaculation, but it can make it worse. The bladder is very burdened with infection, it weakens the sphincter muscle of the bladder, which plays a key role in emptying the bladder. UTI makes the bladder muscles weaker and distressed. UTIs can certainly affect ejaculation, especially if not treated on time. Urinary tract infections and fully transmissible infections can inflame the urethra as well as other pelvic organs, which further leads to painful ejaculation. Some previous infections can also cause scars that obstruct the urethra so that your semen is blocked during ejaculation. Can UTI antibiotics cause retrograde ejaculation or erectile dysfunction? UTI antibiotics cannot cause retrograde ejaculation. They are not the causes of retrograde ejaculation. Other drugs can cause erectile dysfunction, but these are certainly not UTI antibiotics. What to do when you have retrograde ejaculation? Retrograde ejaculation does not need to be treated. It is treated in a situation when you have a fertility problem. However, you can make it better for yourself. You can learn how to perform Kegel exercises. They can be explained as follows. Sit on the toilet and start urinating, somewhere in the middle of the jet, by tightening the pelvic floor muscles. This is repeated several times to feel how these muscles contract. If the cause of retrograde ejaculation is some medicine you are taking, your doctor may replace or discontinue it for a while. Drugs used to treat retrograde ejaculation are drugs that are primarily used to treat some other conditions such as: • Imipramine, an antidepressant • Midodrine, a medicine that narrows blood vessels • Chlorpheniramine and brompheniramine, antihistamines that help alleviate allergies • Ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylephrine are drugs that help relieve the symptoms of the common cold. These are medications that are extremely helpful in keeping the bladder neck muscles closed during ejaculation. Certain medications used to treat retrograde ejaculation can increase your blood pressure and heart rate, which can be very dangerous if you have high blood pressure or heart disease. Can abstinence from sex or masturbation cause UTI? My opinion is that abstinence from sex or masturbation cannot cause a UTI. On the other hand, it can weaken our immune system a lot, and when our immunity is weak, it is one of the factors for the emergence and development of UTI. If a man stops ejaculating, some changes occur in the body. The body breaks down unused sperm, so there is no accumulation in the body. All this can lead to psychological problems and a decline in immunity due to stress. Psychological problems and depression occur, and all of this leads to a large intake of unhealthy food and sugar, which contributes the most to the development of UTI. Can masturbation cause UTI? Find out the answer in this article. Can not ejaculating cause UTI? What would be the benefits of ejaculation? - Ejaculation helps you sleep better. Good sleep has a beneficial effect on UTI. - strengthens the immune system which works well on UTI. A stronger organism fights better against bacteria that cause UTI. - improves migraine symptoms. - reduce the risk of death from heart disease. - relieves stress, and lifts the mood, because it releases dopamine and the hormone oxytocin. This also has a beneficial effect on UTI. All the benefits that men have from normal ejaculation have a very beneficial effect on UTI. Many things can make the immune system stronger and more able to fight the bacteria that cause UTIs. If a man does not ejaculate, sperm retention can occur. If the semen has bacteria or is infected, if some bacteria cause UTI, it will of course damage the immune system of the urinary tract and cause UTI. In other words, it would be best for a man to be able to ejaculate regularly because in that way he would prevent the possibility of UTI infection and the risk of their recurrence. Can UTIs cause ejaculation problems? UTIs can cause ejaculation problems. Here's how. If you have pain when urinating, frequent urination, and an urgent need to urinate, if your urine is cloudy or there is blood in the urine, as well as pain in the abdomen, groin, or lower back, it means you have a urinary tract infection and you suffer from UTI. This affects sexual problems in the sense that it reduces libido and causes erectile dysfunction. Does retrograde ejaculation cause bladder pain? Most men do not feel any pain with retrograde ejaculation. However, if repeated retrograde ejaculation occurs, it can lead to a bladder infection, which in itself can be extremely painful. Retrograde ejaculation does not cause any pain or lead to serious health complications and it is not a problem to experience an erection or orgasm. During sexual intercourse, urinary tract irritation can occur and bacteria can pass into the urethra, which worsens the infection. This is another reason why retrograde ejaculation can worsen UTIs and bladder pain. Can UTI cause delayed ejaculation? UTI is not a cause for delayed ejaculation, but it can worsen pre-existing delayed ejaculation. Certainly, UTI is not a good friend if there is already a delay in ejaculation. Physical causes of delayed ejaculation include certain congenital defects that affect the male reproductive system, e.g. injury to the pelvic nerves that control orgasm. Certain infections, such as a urinary tract infection, can worsen delayed ejaculation. Can UTI cause erectile dysfunction? Yes, UTIs can cause erectile dysfunction. Namely, UTI-causing bacteria, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other sexually transmitted bacteria can lead to erectile dysfunction, all due to their increased multiplication in the urinary tract. UTIs caused by Escherichia coli can also cause erectile dysfunction. Of course, it is very important to monitor both conditions and to apply adequate therapy. Some studies have also investigated this connection, which is inevitable. Can Viagra help with retrograde ejaculation? Viagra is definitely not a drug used to treat retrograde ejaculation. Of course, it can help, but we must know that Viagra is not the main cure for that condition. Viagra (Sildenafil Citrate) is a drug used for male erectile dysfunction and fetal lung defects caused by various factors. This study shows that Viagra helps to relax smooth muscles in retrograde ejaculation in diabetics. Namely, improving the overall smooth muscles of the reproductive tract and testicular morphology will bring many benefits. In diabetic patients, the smooth muscles of the reproductive tract and the morphology of the testicles become rigid and atony of the bladder and urethra appears. This further led to partial or retrograde ejaculation, which is associated with reduced sperm motility. Sildenafil treatment restored spermatogenesis to normal with increased sperm motility and ejaculate volume in these diabetic patients. Are there any benefits to withholding ejaculation? Withholding ejaculation is an ancient practice of a man to withhold ejaculating during intercourse, either through training or willpower. During the peak, the male brain is bathed in neurotransmitters of reward and release of tension. Sperm was considered a sacred fluid that must be retained and re-absorbed into the body when ejaculation is withheld. It was believed that this way men stay healthy and not only that but prolong their life indefinitely. However, those ancient claims that withholding ejaculation prolongs a person's lifespan are difficult to take seriously. Namely, it is believed that orgasm is what prolongs life and health. Based on this, we can conclude that there is no benefit in withholding ejaculation. Partial retrograde ejaculation and UTI Partial ejaculation is a syndrome of partial ejaculation inability. This study included a small number of subjects who have partial ejaculation. A large number of sperms was present in the urine after masturbation which actually indicates impaired ejaculatory function. This could worsen the UTI because if there are some bacteria in the sperm they can be transferred to the urine and bladder during partial ejaculation and thus worsen or cause the UTI. Of course, this is a much smaller percentage than is the case with retrograde ejaculation. Patients should be cautious about UTI infection.
