HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may be having retrograde ejaculation which means that the semen is going into the bladder instead of passing out through the urethra.
In some cases, the urine may be cloudy after intercourse because of the presence of semen.
There are different causes such as: (1) surgery (2) side effect of medication such as prostate medication
(3)nerve damage
(4)diabetes
Treatment would depend on different factors such as the desire to have children. If there is no desire to conceive then some persons do not treat.
If it is very bothersome though there is no wish to conceive, then treatment can be started.
Treatment can be surgical or medications
Medications are suppose to increase the tone of the bladder to prevent semen from entering: (1) brompheniramine which is a type of antihistamine
(2)imipramine
(3)pseudoephedrine which is a decongestant has also be tried
If medications are not effective then treatment is desired, then surgery is the other option
You can consider seeing your doctor for an assessment. He or she may refer to an urologist
