**Six** **Retrograde Ejaculation**

When a normal male experiences orgasm under strong sexual stimulation, the penis can ejaculate. The large amount of fluid secreted by the urethral glands and prostate gland, combined with the contractions of the ejaculatory ducts, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles, expels semen mixed with sperm into the urethra. At this moment, the internal urethral sphincter closes promptly, blocking the entrance to the bladder. Under the strong contractions of the urethral and penile cavernous muscles, the semen is ejaculated from the urethra.

This series of actions is triggered by the "information" received by the penis during sexual stimulation being transmitted through the pudendal nerve to the ejaculation center in the spinal cord and the cerebral cortex. The ejaculation "command" from the cerebral cortex is then transmitted through the efferent nerves to the ejaculatory organs.

Retrograde ejaculation is not abnormal in terms of the issuance of the ejaculation command; the abnormality lies in the "malfunction" of the urethral sphincter or the entrance to the bladder during the "execution" process, which fails to close the passage in time. This problem causes semen that should be ejaculated outside the body to be discharged into the bladder instead.
