Anejaculation
Anejaculation
Anejaculation (pronounced: an-ee-jak-yoo-LAY-shun) is a medical condition characterized by the inability of a man to ejaculate semen during sexual activity.
Etymology
The term "anejaculation" is derived from the Greek prefix "an-", meaning "without", and the Latin "ejaculatio", referring to the act of ejecting or throwing out.
Definition
Anejaculation is a type of sexual dysfunction where a man is unable to ejaculate semen either during sexual intercourse or by manual stimulation with or without orgasm. It can be either primary, if it has always been the case, or secondary, if it is a condition that has developed after previous sexual experiences where ejaculation occurred.
Causes
Anejaculation can be caused by a variety of factors, including psychological issues, neurological disorders, medications, and surgical procedures. It can also be a side effect of certain treatments for prostate cancer.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of anejaculation often involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and may include laboratory tests to rule out underlying conditions. A urologist or sexual health specialist may be involved in the diagnosis and treatment process.
Treatment
Treatment for anejaculation depends on the underlying cause. It may involve psychotherapy, medication, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
