Anejaculation

Inability to ejaculate.

Male fertility

Anejaculation may follow spinal cord injury, surgery, diabetes or be situational — for example on the day of egg retrieval. Options include penile vibratory stimulation, electroejaculation and surgical sperm retrieval, and freezing a sample in advance avoids day-of crises.

Also known as: cannot ejaculate, ejaculatory failure
