Anejaculation
Anejaculation (composition of the Greek prefix an- and the Latin derived word “ ejaculation ”), Latin also Impotentia ejaculandi , denotes the absence of the involuntary contractions of the sexual organs that directly trigger an ejaculation when an orgasm is present and is a form of sexual dysfunction . A delay in ejaculation is called ejaculatio retarda .
causes
The reason for anejaculation is usually an injury to the spine in combination with complete or incomplete cross-sectional lesions . It can also be the result of neurological diseases (e.g. multiple sclerosis , diabetes mellitus, etc.) or surgical interventions in the retroperitoneum or small pelvis . In rare cases, mental illness can also lead to anejaculation.
Total anejaculation
As total anejaculation refers to the condition when it never comes to a ejaculation directly causing involuntary contractions of the reproductive organs despite the presence of orgasm.
Demarcation
Anejaculation is to be distinguished from
- Aspermia , the absence of the ejaculate , with or without spermatozoa (seed) despite by an orgasm neurophysiologically from the sexual center in the diencephalon induced involuntary contractions of the sexual organs, which thus ultimately cause a ejaculation,
- retrograde ejaculation , an effusion that drains back into the bladder instead of outward,
- Injaculation , consciously preventing ejaculation,
- Anorgasmia , the failure to have an orgasm caused by sexual activity.
