Post-Ejaculation Urinalysis
Post-ejaculation urinalysis is a test that checks for sperm in urine after ejaculation. It helps diagnose retrograde ejaculation, a condition where sperm enters the bladder instead of exiting through the urethra, causing male infertility.
Book AppointmentWhat is Post-Ejaculation Urinalysis?
An examination of the man's urine after ejaculation is known as a post-ejaculation urinalysis. Due to retrograde ejaculation and low semen volume, this test is typically performed. Semen enters the bladder backwards during retrograde ejaculation as opposed to leaving through the urethra. Semen is combined with pee and expelled as waste. This happens right before ejaculation. Ejaculation retrograde is one type of male infertility issue.
When is this exam recommended?
A post-ejaculation urinalysis is advised for men who are having trouble getting pregnant. A sperm analysis may be recommended by the doctor before you undergo this procedure. Retrograde ejaculation may be to blame if the sperm analysis reveals any issues, such as poor sperm concentration. The test verifies that sperm are in the urine.
What do the PEU findings suggest?
This test provides a definite indication of sperm in the urine. Therefore, if the male had retrograde ejaculation, his urine sample would contain a significant amount of sperm cells. The illness can be managed and treated with the aid of appropriate medications and medical treatments. Additionally, sperm can be directly removed from the testis and used in an ICSI procedure that might help in conception.
