Dry Emission –Potential Health Hazard or Easy Cleanup?

Let’s be honest. Intimate relations can get messy, real messy.  Most couples establish a sort of post-event routine to deal with the aftermath, which may include a trip to the bathroom, a quick rinse in the shower, a towel for clean up stashed under the bed and so on and so forth.  Bonus points for those couples that just have relations in the shower to avoid the messy clean up altogether!  So what does it mean when the unexpected happens and there is nothing to clean up?  Dry emission, or retrograde emission, is a condition in which a man seems to have a dry emission, as in no seed coming out.  Learn more about this relatively uncommon occurrence and what it can mean for male organ health for men who experience it.

What is retrograde emission?

Retrograde emission is a fancy medical-sounding term that essentially means the fluid flows backwards up the urethra and is deposited into the man’s bladder, rather than being expelled from his male organ upon emission.  Retrograde emission is a specific type of emission disorder, wherein a man does experience the sensation of an emission, but without a typical response.  This condition can be experienced during self-stimulation or relations with a partner. Some men actually do not notice the problem right away, particularly if they are having relations without protection to catch the fluid, as it can feel like an ordinary emission so they may not notice an absence of seed.

What causes retrograde emission?

Retrograde emission most commonly occurs in men who have had a prostate or urethral surgery, who have diabetes, or are on certain medications.  High blood pressure medications and anti-depressants have been especially linked to retrograde emission.  In some instances, men who have been holding off on an emission for a prolonged period of time during a sensual escapade -- especially if they were using their thumb or a device to place pressure at the base of the male organ -- may be more likely to experience retrograde emission in the absence of an actual medical condition, simply because the normal flow of seed was under pressure at the time of emission.

Are there any symptoms or side effects?

For most men, the most obvious symptom of retrograde emission is the absence of seed, or a very reduced amount, compared to the volume usually released.  The first urination post-coupling may be quite cloudy, as the seed is mixed in with the urine, but there is no harm in the seed ending up in the bladder.  The biggest risk of a man experiencing retrograde emission is infertility, which stands to reason, as it would be quite difficult to get one’s partner pregnant when seed is not moving in the right direction! 

What are the treatment options?

Depending on the cause of the retrograde emission, treatment may or may not be possible.  If a certain medication is to blame, switching medications may fix the problem.  If diabetes or surgery is the cause of the problem, a doctor may recommend using certain medications to help resolve the problem, such as those with epinephrine-like qualities.  However, in cases where diabetes or surgery is the cause of the condition, it is also possible that the problem is permanent.  Seeking medical attention at the first sign of dry emission provides the best chance of correcting the problem.

How can one keep the male organ healthy?

Maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle is the best way to keep the male organ healthy.  Men who struggle with diabetes should strive to maintain excellent control over their blood sugar to keep dry emission – as well as male dysfunction – at bay.  Avoiding medications that are known to cause retrograde emission is another way to keep the male organ healthy.  Unfortunately, in some cases such as men who have had surgery or severe diabetes, it is not possible to prevent retrograde emission, but that doesn’t mean one still cannot enjoy a healthy romantic life. Daily use of a male organ vitamin cream (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) can help increase circulation and oxygenation to the male organ, which is important in maintaining a healthy, functioning manhood. A specially formulated male organ cream can also increase sensitivity, which may make for a more enjoyable sensual experience.  Simply apply daily and enjoy the benefits of a healthier male organ.
