Green Light PVP surgery and retro-ejaculation.
Dr Motola,
After having very successful Green Light PVP surgery, I do not ejaculate. I was told that about 33% of men can still ejaculate normally after this procedure. Why can 33% still ejaculate and the rest not? (I know that the semen goes backwards in cases like mine).
I am 63.
Jonley.
Hi Jonley,
Thanks for your question. I've passed it along to Dr. Motola and will let you know when his response has been posted.

I have had PVP twice and the first time with a TURP. I was told up front that there would be retroejaculation as a side effect. I am facing a third PVP as I am back on Flomax due to symptoms returning. I know that most people don't have 3 PVP surgeries, but I have never been one to have a "normal" medical history! Anyway, I think the 33% thing is questionable as my physician did not indicate that normal ejaculation would ever happen again.
