The infertility overcoming in men with retrograde ejaculation and anejaculation

Abstract

In this descriptive retrospective, single-center study, we analyzed the local database of 82 men treated for infertility due to retrograde ejaculation and anejaculation in the International Centre for Reproductive Medicine. Spermatozoa for IVF/ICSI cycles were retrieved from post-ejaculatory urine and by aspiration biopsies (PESA/TESA). An algorithm for diagnosis and treatment of infertile men with retrograde ejaculation and anejaculation has been suggested.
