Retrograde Ejaculation (RE)

admin2

What is Retrograde Ejaculation?

According to a normal ejaculation, sperm cells move from testicle, pass through vas deferens, combine with fluid from seminal vesicle and prostate gland.

Retrograde Ejaculation (RE)

After that, they travel to ejaculatory duct then integrate with bulbourethral gland fluid to become semen. It passes through urethra to its tip. Pushed out by intermittent contraction of muscles while a bladder neck is being tight in order to prevent semen flowing back.

But in case of retrograde ejaculation, semen flows back into bladder. As a result, no semen released when reaching sexual climax. It’s known as a dry orgasm. Men can realize the feeling as usual. After that, sperm cells or fructose will be found in urine by a urine test.

Causes:

Dysautonomia
Congenital abnormalities, e.g., bladder neck incompetence causing sphincter muscle can’t perform regularly
Nerve injury as a complication after prostate surgery
Side effect of some medicines, such as tamsulosin (medicine to relax the muscles of prostate and bladder neck), alpha-1 blockers
Complication of diabetes, especially in diabetes patients who can’t appropriately control their blood sugar in a long term

Treatment:

Retrograde ejaculation can be treated by medication in case of slight nerve injury due to diabetes, constricted blood vessels, or minor injury of spinal nerve. However, drug treatment may become ineffective in some cases, e.g., permanent damage to prostate or testicle due to chemotherapy, muscle or nerve injury because of prostate surgery.

Fertility Treatment:

For any couples who experience infertility as a result of retrograde ejaculation and it can’t be treated by drugs, fertility treatment using the assisted reproductive technology will be needed. By having a husband consume some alkaline drink like bicarbonate of soda to lower the level of uric acid. After the orgasm, post-ejaculation urinalysis will be performed to check the presence of sperm in urine. Then sperm cells will be prepared for use in IUI or IVF respectively.

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent parties and hangovers can directly and indirectly affect your health, especially for those who are already planning to have children. This makes it even more difficult to have children!

Because frequent and large amounts of alcoholic beverages cause the hormones in the body to function abnormally.

What are the effects of drinking alcohol and hangovers?

In men > Abnormal testosterone production results in the body producing less sperm, poor quality sperm, and reduced fertilization ability.

In women > Abnormalities in the pituitary glands hormone system and hormones that control ovarian function result in no ovulation, abnormal uterine lining, and increased chances of premature birth or miscarriage.

It also reduces the absorption of vitamins and minerals, increasing the risk of malnutrition such as magnesium and potassium. It also comes with negative effects from a “hangover” such as insufficient sleep, restless sleep, headaches, dizziness, vomiting, dehydration, fatigue, etc. These are indirect negative effects that affect the body.

Therefore, drinking excessive amounts of liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages is a cause of infertility and reduces the chances of having children by up to 50%.

If anyone is planning a pregnancy and still has problems controlling their alcohol consumption, you may need to consider consulting a mental health professional or medical professional to find a treatment plan.

Prime Fertility Center does not only provide infertility treatment. What Prime Fertility Center aims for and continuously develops is to provide services to customers with care, consultation, care, and concern for all your feelings, like family members. Because we understand the feelings, pressure, and stress of those who cannot successfully conceive, the clinic intends to provide warmth and full convenience to those who receive services, with determination and care from a team of expert doctors, embryologists, and a team with extensive experience in providing comprehensive care and consultation.

When preparing to have a baby, should you eat more animal protein or plant protein?

When preparing to have a baby, should you eat more animal protein or plant protein?

When preparing to have a baby, should you eat more animal protein or plant protein?

“Protein” is important for people of all ages, and they will receive different benefits. It must be consumed in different amounts at different ages. Protein is easily found in animal products, such as meat, milk, eggs, and processed foods such as butter and cheese.

But for parents who want to start taking care of themselves to avoid infertility, they can begin by avoiding high-fat foods and trans fats, such as margarine, fried foods, and snacks, to control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.

So how should people who want to have children eat protein?

If you are preparing to have children, you should eat 1-1.5 grams of protein per body weight/day. Proteins that should be eaten include fish, eggs, chicken, beef, pork, etc.

Eating protein from animals should be done in moderation. Although the nutritional value of animal protein is high, fat, cholesterol, and the risk of various dangerous diseases are also increased.

Plant protein is low in saturated fat, has no cholesterol, is high in fiber, and has fewer calories than animal protein. They can be eaten together, but it is recommended to avoid plant proteins that have effects similar to female hormones, such as soybeans and processed soybean proteins because they can affect the uterus.

Eating protein with iron will help strengthen the uterus and also help produce quality eggs. In addition, eating green vegetables to increase folate and vitamin B helps accelerate ovulation, resulting in a good chance of pregnancy in the future.
