Men, if you can't help but eat it, you might ruin a family.

Men who hold back their semen for a long time may be careful about developing infertility. Married men should have normal sexual intercourse. A well-planned sex life will only benefit themselves and their partner, not harm them. If you feel uncomfortable, you must go to the hospital for a check-up.

Sperm survival time: After three years of marriage, 31-year-old Mr. Zhang and his wife have not been able to conceive. After several examinations at the hospital, I was diagnosed with azoospermia. By chance, the doctor discovered that Mr. Zhang was not without sperm, but his sperm was "diverted" to the bladder and was excreted in the urine every time.

The reason why the sperm "changed its route and went retrograde" was that Mr. Zhang had been "holding back his semen" for a long time. As a result, the sperm had no normal way to be released, so it "turned around on its own" and went to the bladder!

Long-term "retention of semen" has caused wife to not get pregnant for three years

Mr. Zhang said that the habit of "holding back semen" was formed several years ago. At that time, it was in order to prolong the time of sexual intercourse with his wife and pursue more pleasure, so he often pressed sensitive parts to prevent semen from being ejaculated.

Sperm survival time: At first he felt it was very exciting and effective. But over time, he found that he couldn't ejaculate even if he wanted to, and even if he ejaculated occasionally, the semen was very little.

Later, the couple prepared to have a baby. However, without any contraception, Mr. Zhang's wife did not get pregnant for three years. The couple went to many places for examination, and the doctor found no sperm in his semen, which meant that he suffered from azoospermia. Although I took many spermatogenesis treatment drugs, they had no effect.

When we first saw Mr. Zhang, the test results showed that there were no sperm in his semen, so we further inquired about his medical history. Mr. Zhang did not dare to hide it and revealed his habit of "holding back semen" for many years.

At that time, he suspected that Mr. Zhang was suffering from a rare retrograde ejaculation, so he took his urine for examination and found sperm in the urine.

"His situation is a typical case of retrograde ejaculation, which means that the semen is not released outwards, but goes inwards into his bladder and is excreted from the body with urine."

Retrograde ejaculation can lead to infertility

Retrograde ejaculation is relatively rare and there is no good treatment. After much consideration, he decided to try collecting sperm from the patient's urine for artificial insemination.

"Sperm can only live in alkaline environments, and human urine is acidic, so the sperm in Mr. Zhang's urine is very inactive. It is difficult to conceive a healthy baby with sperm with poor activity."

To solve this problem, the doctor asked Mr. Zhang to drink some alkaline baking soda water the night before artificial insemination, and some more baking soda water the next morning to ensure that his urine was alkaline. Then, the doctor collected about 50ml of Mr. Zhang's urine for purification, and finally collected about 1ml of semen.

"We performed artificial insemination on him twice, and we were able to collect higher quality sperm the second time, and Mr. Zhang's wife became pregnant successfully." The reporter learned that not long ago, this hard-won baby was born successfully and was normal in all aspects.

Holding back is a bad habit

"Holding semen" is a very unhealthy habit, and it is actually impossible to hold it back, so it is better to let nature take its course. The incidence of retrograde ejaculation is very low, but once it occurs it can lead to infertility and bring pain to the family.
