I had laser surgery to open up my enlarged prostate and it worked quite well in that regard, I can pee like a teenager. One side effect was that I make almost no semen. I'm not sure if it's related but my orgasms are much more intense and exciting now than ever even though I don't have the sensation of pumping semen out my penis. I'm not complaining, just wondering what other guys experienced. I did not have my prostate completely like guys who get prostate cancer.
You should report the lack of semen to your doctor. It might be a side effect or something they can fix. Otherwise, you're very lucky. Glad to hear they offer a laser option should I ever need it...knock on wood
Have had that same procedure and everything you said is true. Changed my entire life for the better with bo ill effects other than I do not come outward. My friend has turf and he is still miserable plus the surgery was terrible., had to be taken back to surgery twice to stop the bleeding. None of that with the laser.
When you don't have any semen coming out it's because it's going backwards and up into your bladder. It's what I have all the time, so although I do get some liquid coming out, it's very little in comparison with what I used to get. It even has its own medical term, it's called 'retrograde ejaculation'. To explain: I had acute prostatitis from riding a motorcycle 10 hrs a day 5 days a week for 10 years when I worked as a motorcycle courier in London for the whole of the 1980s. It's also sometimes referred to as jogger's prostatitis because they get the same thing. What happens is that when you have a full bladder, you do some physical thing that causes your body to jig up and down a lot. This forces a small amount of urine through the sphincter at the base of the bladder and into the centre of the prostate. If you happen to have any germs in that urine then they infect the thousands of tiny tubes that form the prostate, and once that starts happening then the prostate enlarges (and I do mean enlarges!). Mine went from the normal walnut size to the size of a large grapefruit in a little over a week. It normally takes around 2 years for the infection to be burnt out with antibiotics, but I was lucky and mine burnt out in a year. However, for the whole of that year I couldn't sit down, I could stand up, or lie down, but I couldn't sit down. This did horrible things to my back, and I now have chronic back problems. Also, the prostate stays a bit bigger than normal, and the bladder sphincter never fully recovers from the stretching it got when the prostate was enlarged. As a result, when your prostate fires, the semen goes backwards and up into the bladder rather than flowing down and out of the penis. I've got used to it now, and the missus is pleased that there's lots less mess involved than there used to be, but like the poster, I miss that feeling of release when the semen pumps out of the penis.
