title: Pregnancy after brompheniramine treatment of a diabetic with incomplete emission failure.
abstract: Ejaculation disorders in diabetic men are most frequently caused by retrograde ejaculation resulting from a damage of the sympathetic nerves at the level of the bladder neck. This results in incomplete or complete emission failure because of insufficient sperm transport. Diabetic ejaculatory sterility can be treated with anticholinergic drugs. The reported case shows that as a result of its antihistaminic and anticholinergic properties, brompheniramine can be successfully used in the treatment of men with diabetic ejaculatory sterility, particularly in patients with incomplete emission failure.
