Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: We determined a rational strategy for treatment of patients with retrograde ejaculation in the era of modern assisted reproduction technology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 7 consecutive patients medical treatment or retrieval of spermatozoa from the bladder was performed at a male infertility clinic. RESULTS: Antegrade ejaculation was restored in 3 patients, and spermatozoa were retrieved from the bladder and used for assisted reproduction in 3. Spermatozoa with good oolemma penetrating ability were collected by seminal vesicle massage. CONCLUSIONS: Modern assisted reproduction technology is a powerful treatment option for retrograde ejaculation when combined with a technique to retrieve spermatozoa of good quality from the bladder.
