Abstract
-
Rectal probe electroejaculation was attempted in 22 anejaculatory men and sperm were obtained in 86.4%. 8 patients had retrograde only and 11 patients had antegrade and retrograde ejaculations. The semen qualities were relatively poor. Only 11 patients (50.0% ) showed total sperm count more than 10 x 10(5) and total motile sperm count 1 x 10(6). There were blood pressure elevations with headache or sweating in 7 patients during electrostimulation. Among these, 6 patient had lesions above Ts but one had a lower spinal lesion (L1). The other side effects were minimal.
