Aspermia, What To Know About It
“My boyfriend never ejaculates whenever we have sex. Could it be that I’m not sexually satisfying? What can I do, please?”
The above was a question a young lady asked me some time ago and I could understand her worry. The truth is that a lot of people are going through this and constantly blaming themselves for their partners inability to function well in bed. If you are in this situation, I want you to know that your man’s sexual functions or dysfunctions have nothing to do with you. However, if you feel there’s emotional disconnection between you and your partner, you might want to talk this out with him outside the bedroom. Let him know you know how he feels and you are ready to help him go through it all.
The inability of a man to ejaculate occurs as a result of a sexual dysfunction known as aspermia. This is one of the major causes of infertility in men.
About Aspermia
Aspermia is a sexual dysfunction characterized by complete absence of semen. This means that the volume of semen is zero and hence, semen analysis may not be possible. Please note that aspermia is different from azoospermia which is the complete absence of sperm. This does not mean that a man cannot get a full erection and have normal sexual intercourse and orgasm. Aspermia which can also be referred to as dry ejaculation can occur due to anejaculation or retrograde ejaculation, or ejaculatory duct obstruction.
Retrograde Ejaculation
This is also known as dry orgasm and it occurs when the urine bladder neck fails to close, resulting in backward ejaculation of sperm into the urinary bladder rather than forward. This is diagnosed based on orgasm history but no ejaculation which is then confirmed by post-ejaculatory urine analysis. A high concentration of sperm in the urine shows issues with the bladder neck sphincter. However, sperm from urine may be collected and utilized in artificial reproduction procedures (ART) to fertilize eggs and create embryos. The Microscopic Epididymal Sperm Aspiration method is typically employed in males with retrograde ejaculation to harvest sperm for use in ART (assisted reproduction techniques).
Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction (EDO)
Ejaculatory duct obstruction is a condition in which one or both ejaculatory ducts are blocked. There are two types of EDO: complete EDO (complete blockage in both ejaculatory ducts) and partial EDO (complete blockage in one ejaculatory duct or partial blockage in both ducts). This condition can be surgically corrected but if there is zero sperm production in the testes, it can lead to infertility. However, fertilization can be achieved through artificial reproduction.
