For the most part, dry orgasms are harmless, although they can affect your ability to have kids. Here are a mix of causes that could be behind dry orgasms.<\/p>\n
As men get older, it\u2019s common for their testosterone levels to decrease. This can cause a reduced ejaculation.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve experienced a spinal injury or other condition, such as diabetes, cancer or multiple sclerosis, your dry orgasms could be the result of nerve damage.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\nA blockage<\/h3>\n
When a man\u2019s urethra or ejaculatory duct is blocked, it can cause dry orgasms.<\/p>\n
Although it\u2019s rare, some men have a genetic abnormality that prevents them from producing enough semen to ejaculate.<\/p>\n
Some medical treatments and surgical procedures can cause dry orgasms. Among others, these can include:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to confuse dry orgasms with retrograde orgasms because neither produces visible ejaculate during orgasm.<\/p>\n
The difference is that with retrograde orgasms, the ejaculate goes into the bladder rather than out through the penis. This is because the bladder doesn\u2019t stay closed during retrograde orgasms, as it normally would with a typical orgasm. Instead, the backflow of semen into the bladder causes urine to look cloudy.<\/p>\n
These retrograde orgasms can be caused by certain medical procedures involving the prostate, as well as alpha-blockers and other medications.<\/p>\n
Most of the time, treating dry or retrograde orgasms means addressing the root cause of them. That could be reducing or switching medications, or trying a medical treatment or surgical procedure to keep the bladder closed during orgasm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
