Family doctor Mosia Machado has outlined the main causes of dry orgasm in men, a condition where no semen is released during ejaculation, in an interview with the publication Metropoles.
Machado explained that during a dry orgasm, semen enters the urinary bladder rather than exiting through the urethra. The fluid is subsequently expelled from the body naturally when the person urinates.
The doctor emphasized that this process is completely safe because no organ damage occurs. In medical reference terms, semen travelling backward into the bladder is known as retrograde ejaculation, a condition where the bladder neck sphincter fails to contract and close off the bladder opening during climax.
In addition to the absence of semen during climax, Machado highlighted another key sign that can indicate a dry orgasm has occurred. He said cloudy urine during the first trip to the toilet after sexual intercourse or masturbation serves as a primary indicator of the condition.
Causes and triggers of dry orgasm
Machado identified several physical causes behind the occurrence of dry orgasms. Surgical procedures performed on the prostate gland or on the neck of the urinary bladder represent primary triggers, as surgical intervention can alter the delicate sphincter muscles responsible for directing ejaculatory flow.
Neurological disorders also play a significant role in causing dry orgasms. Machado specifically highlighted neuropathy, a form of nerve damage that can stem from diabetes mellitus or spinal cord injuries. Damage to these autonomic nerve pathways can impair the body's ability to signal the bladder neck to close during ejaculation.
The specialist added that the use of certain medications can also cause dry orgasms. Various prescription drugs can relax the smooth muscle tissue surrounding the bladder opening or interfere with the nerve impulses required for normal ejaculatory function.
Related male health conditions
Male reproductive and urinary health encompasses a wide range of conditions affecting the prostate gland and bladder. Previously, urologist Igor Kononkov discussed how to recognize prostatitis, an inflammation of the prostate gland, which is a small gland located below the bladder that produces seminal fluid.
Kononkov identified pain in the pelvic region as one of the primary symptoms of prostatitis. Prostatitis is a common urological disorder that can cause discomfort in the pelvis, lower abdomen, or groin, and can lead to persistent urinary difficulties in men.
