The recovery period for retrograde ejaculation after prostate surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual’s physical condition, with most requiring surgical treatment to recover.
Retrograde ejaculation is a common complication after prostate surgery. Clinically, it is believed that it is due to the fact that when removing the hyperplastic or cancerous part of the prostate, electrodessication of the prostate also affects the normal internal urethral sphincter or bladder structure, causing dysfunction, thus leading to reflux of semen to the bladder during ejaculation.
A small percentage of patients may experience relief from retrograde ejaculation within 3 to 12 months, but most require surgical treatment for full recovery.
If retrograde ejaculation occurs after prostate surgery, it is recommended to consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis and targeted treatment or therapy.
