"We're trying to get pregnant and finally went to get evaluated. She's fine. Evidently, it's my issue. See I cum but not much. I only get a small globule of semen and it doesn't shoot out at all. And it happens only on the first pulse of my cock even thought the orgasm lasts. The fertility doctor says the ejaculatory sphincter is not functioning properly and I'm experiencing a retrograde ejaculation all but the first little bit ends up in my bladder. He says it can't be fixed and we'll have to go In Vitro but he'll have to extract sperm with a needle. Kind of like doing needle biopsy. The thought of a needle in my balls scares the hell out of me."
Whoa, whoa, whoa. First, it would be a needle into your seminal vesicles, not the testicles.. Second, didn't he at least recommend that you try altering your coitus position when you ejaculate?
If that doesn't work then, yeah, your only option will be sperm extraction. As painful as that sounds, they should give you some type of anesthesia for the procedure. If a doctor didn't and came at my nether with a biopsy needle, I'd kick him in the balls and run.
You need to discuss this with your wife. Hopefully, she'll be willing to try this method. Not only because of the discomfort on your part but because In Vitro can be very expensive.

interesting
Even if you only get "a small globule" of semen, can't that be used instead of the needle method? It may be necessary to help it on its way with whatever the modern and safe equivalent of the old-fashioned turkey baster might be, but that still seems far preferable, far more natural, and far less expensive compared to the high-tech needle biopsy/in vitro method that the doctor is recommending.
@ Anon - If there is enough semen, what you suggest might work - though it's still going to be expensive. The average is still approx $10,000 a try. That's a lot of money to put out before you've exhausted other options.
Whoa
Retrograde Ejaculation is my expression of the day.
Who knew it was so difficult to get pregnant? I've had girlfriends who have gotten pregnant the FIRST TIME that they have had sex.
Damn.
XOXO
Isn't it amazing how difficult something so easy can be. Makes you wonder how we all got here!
Hugs and bisous,.
I once saw a video of the female cervix during orgasm: the muscular contractions dip the cervix into the end of the vagina, presumably to force any sperm pooling in that position into the cervix entrance and thus assist the swimmers on their way. The female orgasm thus seems to be partly designed to facilitate conception. The reason I mention this is that it is probably a good idea to assist your partner to orgasm immediately after you have ejaculated, if you want to give conception the best chance.
Whilst it may not be possible to facilitate repair of retrograde ejaculation, do fertility Doctors have any suggestions about minimising its occurrence, like having a full bladder during sex to increase the sphincter closure pressure?
It might be worthwhile reading the Wikipedia article on Retrograde Ejaculation as it can be caused by medication and there are additional medical techniques for extracting sperm from urine for in-Vitro conception, apart from biopsy of the seminal vesicles. One would hope a fertility Doctor would cover all aspects of retrograde ejaculation.
If your reader wants to increase his semen volume, it is advisable to change a few habits. This requires the practice of a regular sports activity and a change in his eating habits. In return, he could produce more semen. He could also say goodbye to erectile dysfunction, low libido, and problems with ejaculation.
That said, I think that your advices are very good, but if it comes to correcting a physical malformation I approve of the doctor and your reader would be well advised to overcome his fears. I'm not saying it will not hurt but I also think no one died from it and it's just a short bad time to have. After all his wife will also experiment a bad time to have on the day of her delivery.
Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.
Very good advice!
A simple Google search (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/retrograde-ejaculation/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20354896) lists medications that basically keep the bladder neck closed during ejaculation. In addition there may be other causes to the retrograde ejaculation: like current medications, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, certain surgeries, and other conditions and treatments.
It appears there's a lot of discussion that needs to take place before just succumbing to a needle. I would definitely recommend doing some of your own online research, as well as get a second opinion regarding your condition and treatment.
@ Derek - Thank you for sharing that! I should've known there may have been medical advancements for this issue. I'll have to email your response just to make sure he sees it! A second opinion too, because his current doctor may be too old to have knowledge of the new treatments.
@ whkattk/
In France the doctors have knowledge of the new treatments whether it was about new techniques, new tools (in the broad sense) or drugs at any age.
One of my uncles was a doctor and it took him always one or two hours every day to update his knowledge with the documents he received.
