Ejaculation Problem - Sexual Health - Men Message Board

I would like to ask about a very bad problem I have. I do not have any problem with sexual desire or with getting or maintaining an erection. However for the past 4 years I have had a terrible problem ejaculating. It happens in all circumstances- even if I am intensly aroused. It seems that there is not enough semen- very little comes out and it is very hard to work up to the point of ejaculation. Technically I could ejaculate in a normal amount of time but it does not feel right. It feels as if not enough pressure has been built up. I am aware that sometimes antidepresent drugs can cause a similar problem but I do not take them. I do not belive that the problem is is psychological- I experience it as physical. Anybody have the same problem? What could cause it? How can it be cured?

I'm going to throw out a few thoughts, but I'm not really sure. First, how many times do you masturbate or ejaculate in a certain time period? The more we do that, the less semen that will be available each time. Also, an increased intake of water will help because it provides more fluids for your body. Are you on any meds? Have any health problems at all?

Hi thanks for your response- to answer your question- yes it helps somewhat if there is a bigger period of time between attempts but no matter how long I wait I have the same problem. I am taking Proscar for hair loss- the doctor thought that this might cause a problem and advised me to stop for a while- I stopped for a period of 8 weeks and it made absolutely no difference. I will try your suggestion about drinking water. What could cause this problem? Can it be corrected? thanks T.

I don't see how increasing fluids will help unless you are seriously dehydrated. It sounds more like a reproductive problem. Have you talked to your doctor about any types of possible prostate or urethra problems? There is also a gland called the seminal vesicle that adds alot of fluids to the semen. Maybe that is irritated or something that is prohibiting it from properly functioning.

I take proscar but that is to reduce enlarged prostate. I had no idea it was used for hair loss. Obviously it does affect the prostate but maybe you need to make certain how long it hangs around after you stop taking it. It seems you are very concerned about this and if you have not seen a urologist, I would highly recommend it!
