I have read that if you've been prescribed tamsulosin after the stent is removed, the dry ejaculations will go away after being off the medication. I'm in the middle of the prescription, so I can't confirm it, but I'm hopeful!
To the other question, which since it's now over five years old, you probably know the answer, when a stent is removed, it is relatively painful, but it only lasts less than a second. I had no burning urination afterwards -- I did have burning for the first day or two after it was put in, however. After the stent is removed, you may see blood in your urine or blood clots coming out for a day or two, and that's normal.
If you get this, I'd love to know if all went well after the stent was removed. Also how painful was it to get out?
The laser surgery I had was more painful than the blockage because of the added burning pain at the tip when I'd urinate. If I get any others under 5mm, I'll just wait to pass them.
Well your words do offer some help in understanding. Some of the research I've done suggests that it is common for the lower end of the stent to rest on top of the prostate (which is involved with the ejaculation process as well). I know I am having a hell of a time with constipation as well. So maybe the stent is pinching that area and causing the "backfiring" that you are talking about. I do want kids, but hopefully this will not be an issue after the removal of the stent next week. Thank you for responding.
Retrograde ejaculation is very common. During ejaculation, the sphincter muscle closes forcing the ejaculate out the urethra. When this muscle weakens, many times the semen goes into the bladder. Unless you want children, there is no harm. When you void you will see the semen in the urine. If you want children, the semen can be removed from the urine.
I hope this helps.
