Overview - Retrograde Ejaculation
Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen goes into the bladder instead of leaving the penis during ejaculation. Retrograde ejaculation isn't harmful but it can impair fertility since it affects the delivery of sperm to the vagina during intercourse. The condition is relatively uncommon, accounting for only 0.3% - 2% of male fertility problems.
