Reverse Retrograde Ejaculation?

[RussW]

My prostate was "re-sectioned" and following that procedure, I now have retrograde ejaculations.  I don't like them and any orgasm I have now is different and not as profound as those when I ejaculated externally.  As a matter of fact, retrograde ejaculations keep me from having any sexual relation with anyone and keeps me from masturbating, as well, since there is an unpleasant feeling in my penis following a retrograde ejaculation.  

Is there anything to be done to reverse retrograde ejaculations, so that my ejaculations would be external?

and the most devastating thing is that my current urologist concludes i probably never had an enlarged prostate because i still have to catheter several times a day.  He says my bladder is neurogenic.  So i was better before because i could still ejaculate.  I feel this banality of everyday acceptance of malpractice and our US, insurance industry corrupted medical system is at the core of the problem of US medical care has become several tiered and healing and Hippocratic Oath are after thoughts

This forum topic is indicative of most men who have had turp inflicted upon them.  All of us have been treated like numbers and inflicted with one of the worst things that could happen to a man: becoming neither male nor female but an "it". Worse than decreased sexual pleasure is that dry orgasm does not relieve sexual tension barely at all. We become more tense and depressed.  thus our health in general goes downhill.

Indeed a majority of persons in the world suffers poverty and misery.  But the lack of what continues the species, the vital life force: sexuality, is a relative, singular type of suffering.

I have to self-cath and so am subject to frequent urinary infections. I haven't had to take antibiotics, however, because I take d-mannose, which is very effective at flushing the e-coli germs out. D-mannose is a harmless form of sugar. It comes in a powdered form. Try taking 1/2 tsp/day (dissolved in water) unless you have an infection, at which time you increase the dose to 1/2 tsp (or more if necessary) 3x/day. The mannose attaches to e-coli and makes it hard for the bugs to hang onto the surfaces of the urinary tract and so they are flushed out when urinating. Cheapest is Now brand on Amazon, and it works great.

This post above has a number of letters about men in suffering. If you equate the number of men who have had the procedure to the number of complaints, then there is either some innocent ignorance or suffering.
Consultants do not talk about R.E. in detail as it prolongs the consultation for process to surgery.
I am noticing younger men get hit with prostate issues and there has to be a link with diet, sexual activity and too much anaerobic sport like weight training.
Ejaculations and sex is NOT the same after any form of surgery either TURP or HOLEP.
The question is the choice between the devil and the deep blue sea??
Surgeons because of the risk of legal action against them, are now offering TUNA needle ablation and bladder neck incision of the prostate.
The popularity of TURP and HOLEP is waning some what.
Removing a mans ability to procreate or enjoy sex is a very dangerous modem of operand i to fall down on.
The orgasm is NOT the same and I challenge any prostate surgeon or urologist on this.
The practice of ill advice needs to cease, it is not funny nor is it professional.
Prostate doctors need to find better ways of dealing with urinary retention other than blasting the bladder neck valve to kingdom come.

Very well said. I just had a systoscopy and discovered a bid stone at the bladder neck and a medium size medium lobe which is causing me to have a week stram and often urination. The urologist wants to schedule me for Holep in November.  I asked him about aquablasion and he said based on my analogy her recommends Holep. When I asked why he didn't explain a reason. Than said that my insurance won't cover aquablasion but even if it did he still recommends Holep. When I asked him what is the risk of retrograde ejacuation he said it's like 50% chance. When I read about aquablasion and retrograde it says it has a very low rate of retrograde. I don't want to fix one thing and get something else. Anyone here have any advise or insite to Holep and Aquablasion. Anyone here that has had either please reply with your results. Thanks everyone for reading.

I am 50 yrs old ...  I had my TURP one month ago..  I was aware of RE before the procedure and chose to do it, because of the BPH problems I had.. Couple of days ago, I decided to masturbate to see how it feels...
and it does feel weird, empty and incomplete..   it wasn't also totally bad..
Well, it is what it is..  Now looking at the positive side, any techniques you folks have done to enhance the feeling?  would things like 'edging' help?
Your feedback is appreciated.

Did you ever get any feedback on techniques to enhance the admittedly diminished but not totally bad experience we are all faced with?

I have been suffering from Low or no ejaculate since I started on prostate medicine and have found that ingesting  marijuana (smoke or edible) is a big help in increasing the experience. I don't produce or ejaculate any more than before but, the experience is far more intense. If you live in a state that allows for medical marijuana you might be able to get a physician to prescribe it.

I have had dry ejaculation once or twice and it is very un satisfying.

I had this butchery 3 years ago and live in a state of depression ever since. I was not told of other treatments and had a ridiculous (and misplaced) faith in my surgeon who at no time suggested other forms of non emasculatory procedures.

Not a day goes by that I regret the decision to have a TURP. So many men on forums that I have read suffer the way we do. I would donate a large sum of money to a fund for research into some way to reverse it. A reverse valve or something? Nobody even seems prepared to think of a solution. Thats the annoying part.
