Orgasm without ejaculation - causes and treatments for dry orgasm
Among the various dysfunctions of ejaculation, aspermia stands out, better known as orgasm without ejaculation or dry orgasm. Various names are still given, for example: ejaculation without sperm, ejaculation without semen, dry ejaculation or non-ejaculatory orgasm.
What is dry orgasm?
It is a condition in which a man appears to ejaculate but sperm is absent. In this situation, he feels orgasm without ejaculating, that is, without the presence of semen. So far there is no known relationship with premature ejaculation.
Non-ejaculatory orgasm can be occasional or permanent. If permanent, it can significantly affect the couple's fertility.
What are the causes of dry orgasm?
There are several causes that give rise to aspermia. In any case, if you notice an absence of semen during ejaculation, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor to determine the exact cause and start the appropriate treatment.
The main causes of orgasm without ejaculation are:
- Use of medications such as some antidepressants or beta-blockers;
- Previous surgeries;
- Neurological causes such as spinal cord trauma, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis, diabetes, among others;
- Certain infections, especially the urogenital ones that can be the cause of ejaculation with little semen (volume less than 1.5 ml), called hypospermia, which is very similar to aspermia, although not the same thing;
- Endocrine causes such as hypogonadism or any other endocrine disorder that affects the male reproductive system;
- Congenital malformation that leads to the absence of vas deferens, the conduit that allows sperm to be mobilized from the testicles. If the man realizes that he has never ejaculated in his life, this could be the cause.
Dry orgasm can manifest itself in different ways. The only common denominator is the absence of semen during ejaculation.
How to treat orgasm without ejaculation?
Depending on the form and cause of aspermia, the solutions are different and only the specialist doctor will be able to determine the most appropriate therapeutic approach.
The treatments available consist of:
- Testosterone treatment: If aspermia is caused by low sperm production, your specialist doctor may prescribe hormone therapy with testosterone injections.
- Surgical operation: in the case of congenital origin leading to the absence of vas deferens, surgery may be necessary to correct the anomaly, with the aim of resecting the ejaculatory ducts and increasing sperm volume by approximately 50%.
- Proper nutrition: know that it is possible to increase the volume of sperm through the consumption of certain foods. Certain nutrients support the production of testosterone and, consequently, sperm. This is the case with the zinc contained in oysters and other antioxidants that can be found in fruits, for example.
In conclusion, dry orgasm can have consequences on male fertility. Fortunately there are solutions and ejaculation without sperm can be perfectly treated.
