Abstract:
Retrograde ejaculation, semen flows into the bladder because of failure of the bladder neck to close, is to uncommon cause of male infertility. Many pregnancies have been tried by artificial intrauterine insemination of the wife with the husband's sperm recovered from voided urine. Major problems that use of retrograde ejaculation specimens for artificial insemination are (1) the acidity of the urine, (2) the osmotic pressure of the urine, (3) the dilution effect caused by the urine, and (4) urine contamination of the cell suspension. We report a case of successful pregnancy using Ham's F-10 medium, which contained 10% cord in the retrograde ejaculation patient.
