Retrograde ejaculation
Posted , 11 users are following.
As we have learned from both online literature and the urologist, Turp or laser surgery almost certainly provokes retrograde ejaculation. When reading on the net about medication to treat BPH, like Avodart, Flomax (Tamsulosin) possible side effects are stated as decreased libido, decreased semen, abnormal ejaculation. I have taken Tamsulosin for 2 weeks, then dropped the medication again because I feared the side effects. It seemed to me, that shortly after starting the medication I had up to 95 % retrograde ejaculation. I wonder if the condition reverses again and what could be done naturally? Anybody having thoughts on this topic?

I had the same concerns so I kept putting off doing anything until I could not stand the urgency and frequency. Then I joined the clinical trial in the USA for iTind by Medi-tate. It has been around for 5 years and approved in the Israel, Europe, Canada, Brazil, etc. It seemed to be the least traumatic to the surrounding tissue, is effective for 85% of the cases with almost no downside risk except for a possible UTI which can happen in any procedure.
It is an impanted stent that slowly creates three incisions, not by cutting, but by compressing the tissue and were it touches the tissue it sloughs off like a scab. Not painful, just mildly uncomfortable while it is in. The implant procedure was done in 5 minutes while I was under mild sedation so I did not feel a thing. I was "out" for maybe 8 minutes total and wide awake very quickly. and went home that afternoon once I urinated.
Only real discomfort was stinging during urination which lasted for 15-30 seconds. Only inconvenience was minor leaking/bleeding from time to time so I wore a urinary pad. After 6 days I went back and had it removed with a catheter. It took about 2 minutes, I was awake, and any discomfort I felt lasted about 15 seconds and then a sudden sense of relief. Like removing a pebble from your shoe.
Within ten minutes I was able to relax and fully empty my bladder. No more urgency. Frequency dropped for 18 times a day to 6-8 times. Only get up once a night (because I still drink tea or water right up to bedtime. Old habits die hard.) But if I don't drink anything past 8 PM I can last all night. No sexual dysfunction or decrease in libido at all.
Only question is how long the effects will last. So far as I know, nobody has had to repeat the prodecure. Check it out.

I have taken Silodosin (Rapaflo) for several years, and RE is one of its listed side effects. Based upon my experience, if you plan ahead and skip a dose or two prior to sex, your response will be nearly, if not completely, normal. If the medication works for you, IMO you'd be foolish not to try it and see if managing as above produces the desired results.
