Sexual Problems in Men

Retrograde ejaculation often develops after surgery on the bladder, prostate gland, or other organs in the pelvis. This surgery may be performed for problems affecting

• the bladder (such as cancer or stones)

• the prostate gland (benign growth of the gland, or cancer)

• the bowel (diverticulitis, colitis, or tumors)

• lymph nodes (as part of cancer surgery).

Have you ever had surgery in the pelvis or lower abdomen?

Yes, I've had one of these types of surgery.

No, I have not.
