Would It Be Normal To Have Orgasms But No Ejaculation When Aroused?
Question: i am 64. for the last year i have had orgasms, but no ejaculation. is this normal, or a cause for concern?
Brief Answer:
may be due to retrograde ejaculation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is possible that this may be due to retrograde ejaculation. In that condition, the semen, instead of ejecting through the penis during an orgasm, goes backwards into the bladder.
Eventually it will be excreted in the urine.
It is only a concern in men trying to conceive because it prevents conception from occurring.
Other than that, it is not associated with any complications.
You can see your doctor to find the cause of the retrograde ejaculation
It can be due to different causes such as:
(1) Side effect of medication such as Flomax or some BP medication, some anti depressants
(2) Diabetes
(3) Injury or disease of the spinal cord
(4) Prostate surgery
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
