The main symptom of retrograde ejaculation is the sensation of ejaculation during sexual activity, but semen does not exit through the urethral opening. After intercourse, patients may find sperm and fructose in their urine. Sexual climax can be achieved, but little or no semen is ejaculated. Some patients may experience pain or discomfort after ejaculation. Long-term retrograde ejaculation may lead to male infertility, as sperm cannot enter the female reproductive tract normally.
Some patients may also have other urinary symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, or painful urination. Because symptoms of retrograde ejaculation may be subtle and easily overlooked, individuals should seek medical attention promptly if they notice abnormal ejaculation during sex or encounter infertility while trying to conceive.
