Retrograde ejaculation

[ivtacres]

Has anyone suffered from this, "orgasm with no expulsion of semen" . Is it fixable? Goes along with my ED problem. I'm 51 year old male who is diabetic (insulin) dependent and taking high blood pressure med's. Been having ED for about 6 years

Help!

You are suffering from retrograde ejaculation which is often caused by diabetes and blood pressure medications. As per the following link, you need to speak to your doc to change your blood pressure meds or prescribe other meds to offset the effects of diabetes. Seems you have been hit with a double whammy.

Hi Ivtacres, I did an answer for the same quetion on medhelp yesterday and it was this, Yes, it's possible. You see, orgasm and ejaculation are two separate processes and it possible that one can occur without the other. However, they usually happen at the same time. Orgasm is the release of sexual tension that has built to a peak. It includes an increase in heart rate, a surge in blood pressure, muscle contractions in the genitals, arms and legs, etc… On the other hand, ejaculation is the expulsion of semen from the tip of the penis. So, some men simply have orgasm without actually ejaculating. It is even possible to “train” yourself to achieve this – you need to learn how to your pubococcygeal muscle during sex – controlling it well, but before the point of no return, can prevent the fluid from being released (ejaculation). It is same thing when you urinate – man can stop urination midstream if necessary. Same technique can be applied for intercourse and ejaculation. Hope this answers your question.
But it could be your meds, but it would depend just how long this has been going on, like has this just happened once or is this happening a lot, your call.
Good Luck
