A member asked:

Hi docs, would retrograde ejaculation cause infertility?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

Yes,...: Retrograde ejaculation shoots the semen backward into the bladder instead of normally forward through and out of the urethra for vaginal insemination. So, it's yes to cause infertility. More detail? Ask doctor timely. Best wish...
