UTIs are a common health concern that affect millions of people every year. While they can be caused by a variety of factors, one potential cause that many people may not be aware of is retrograde ejaculation.
What is Retrograde Ejaculation?
Retrograde ejaculation is a condition in which semen is redirected from the urethra into the bladder during ejaculation, rather than being expelled through the penis. This can occur due to a variety of factors, including nerve damage, surgery, or certain medications.
While retrograde ejaculation is not typically harmful, it can cause infertility in some cases. Additionally, it may increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in some individuals.
How Does Retrograde Ejaculation Cause UTI?
When semen is redirected into the bladder during retrograde ejaculation, it can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract. This can increase the risk of developing a UTI, particularly in individuals who are already prone to these infections.
Additionally, retrograde ejaculation can cause a decrease in the amount of semen that is expelled during ejaculation. This can lead to a decrease in the amount of fluid that is available to flush bacteria out of the urinary tract, further increasing the risk of infection.
