Successful pregnancy despite retrograde ejaculation. A case report.
In retrograde ejaculation sperm is passed into the bladder causing infertility. Among patients seen at the Reproductive Biology Research Unit of the University of Pretoria retrograde ejaculation is relatively uncommon (0.004%), but is a potentially treatable cause of infertility. The technique for collecting sperm, sperm processing and recovery described was successful and resulted in a pregnancy after transfer of 1 four-cell embryo.
