What Causes Retrograde Ejaculation In A Methamphetamine Addict?
What is the mechanism that links meth use and the sudden absence of ejaculate during orgasm? There seems to be something more at work than simply dehydration. Ive been a chronic meth user for 12 years now. One day, two years into my addiction, I observed that very little, if any, semen comes out of my penis during orgasm. For 7 years, all my ejaculations were dry. I thought this was going to be a lifetime condition, until my ejaculations came back in full force months after I was forced to abandon my addiction upon landing in prison. When I started using again, the condition came back, a lot quicker this time. I have been researching about this topic for a while now and I am puzzled at the total absence of literature on the link between chronic meth use and “retrograde ejaculation,” a side-effect that I thought was extremely common among meth users. But then again, if the condition were common, there would at least be some data on why this happens.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Is is good to know that after you got control over your meth addiction, you are getting to ejaculate. Avoid any type of addiction, addictions give you temporary pleasure but get you into a mess later in life. This type of ED occurs because meth in long run causes brain & nerve damage causing blood vessels of the penis to get clogged. Erection & ejaculation depend on blood flow, nerve supply and hormones. In meth users nerves get damaged, blood flow gets affected and hormone imbalances occur due to which there is depression, psychosis and emotional disturbance.
However, you are at a better state so stay away from addiction, lead a healthy lifestyle, take protein rich food, avoid stress & stay emotionally stable . You can take medications that will help you maintain a better erection like Viagra but the volume of semen will increase as your general health gains stability.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
