“…By Chisquare analysis, the differences of numerical chromosome abnormality rate of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y in the SCI-PVS group were statistically significant, compared to the control group (P<0.0001). There were no significant whose infertility is caused by male factors, such as azoospermia due to reproductive tract obstruction, retrograde ejaculation or anejaculation [4]. In this study, semen samples were successfully obtained by PVS from 18 SCI patients, and the rates of sperm motility, normal morphology and normal HOS/SCD in these patients were significantly lower than controls.…”

“…If the PVS procedure was also unsuccessful, PVSA was performed (sperm was obtained from 16 PA patients [PA-PVSA group] using this method). The PVSA procedure has been described elsewhere by Qiu et al [4,35]. Sixteen procedures were thoroughly described to all subjects (n0 16), including semen retrieval methods and intracorporal injection.…”

“…The reasons of anejaculation are primarily caused by spinal cord injury (SCI) or psychological factors [1][2][3][4]. Numerous studies have shown that there are about 85% of spinal cord-injured men permanently lose their ability to ejaculate [3][4][5]. Psychogenic anejaculation (PA) is one of the ejaculatory disorders.…”

“…However, the EEJ method has been reported to obtain poor-quality semen (asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia) from SCI patients [7,15,17]. For the collection of semen from infertile men experiencing anejaculation caused by PA, the percutaneous vasal sperm aspiration (PVSA) method was established by Qiu et al (2003) [4].…”

“…4 Pharmacologic therapy in non-spinal cord injured patients has been almost exclusively with a-agonistic drugs (imipramine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and milodrin). 5 In contrast, parasympathomimetic drugs (physostigmine and neostigmine) almost always have been used in SCI-related anejaculation.…”

Anejaculation is a rare cause of infertility and adversely affects the general sense of well-being and perception of sexual life satisfaction. Evidence to support effective and noninvasive treatment for this ejaculatory disorder is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of midodrine (a 1 -adrenergic receptor agonist) for the treatment of organic anejaculation but not spinal cord injury (SCI). A total of 128 patients were randomly assigned to oral midodrine 7.5-15 mg per day in a stepwise approach (group 1, n ¼ 64), or a similar regimen of placebo (group 2, n ¼ 64). They underwent a complete physical examination, echocardiography, 12-lead electrocardiogram, transrectal ultrasonography, complete blood count and blood chemistry. Hormonal assays included serum levels of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin and testosterone. To rule out other sexual dysfunction, patients also completed the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire. Psychiatric disorders were excluded by appropriate tests. Outcome measure was reversal of the anejaculation. None of the patients in the placebo group achieved antegrade or retrograde ejaculation. At the end of study, antegrade, retrograde and antegrade þ retrograde ejaculation occurred in 18 (29.5%), 8 (13.1%) and 9 (14.8%) patients in midodrine group, respectively (all P ¼ 0.01). The most and least favorable responses were among patients with multiple sclerosis and bilateral sympathectomy, respectively. Midodrine improved ejaculation function in a dose-dependent manner. Four participants (6.3%) in midodrine group discontinued this study for reasons of adverse events. In patients with organic anejaculation but without SCI midodrine can reverse anejaculation in more than 50% of patients. Further studies are needed, however, for the evaluation of different treatment regimens in anejaculation therapy.
