Urinary Issues: Concerns About Ejaculation and Fertility - Urology

Private matters?


I would like to ask the doctor, I am a 23-year-old male.
Sometimes when I have a bowel movement, I accidentally expel semen when straining.
This has happened only a few times.
Is this due to excessive masturbation? I have been masturbating since elementary school until now...
I am very worried about my fertility.
Will my sperm count decrease? Can I still have children? Also, I notice that there are bubbles when I urinate.
Is this a sign of kidney deficiency?

Niming, 20~29 year old female. Ask Date: 2009/02/06

Anonymous: Hello, when having a bowel movement, especially when the stool is hard or in large amounts, the pressure from the feces can cause semen to be expelled.
The frequency of masturbation does not have an absolute correlation with sperm count.
Of course, if ejaculation occurs frequently and sperm production cannot keep up, there may be a decrease in sperm count.
The presence of bubbles in urine requires further examination.
If there are any unclear points, feel free to ask again, and we can discuss and research further.

It's understandable to have concerns about sexual health, fertility, and urinary issues, especially at a young age. Let's break down your questions and provide some clarity.

First, regarding the ejaculation that occurs during bowel movements: this is not an uncommon phenomenon. It can happen due to the close proximity of the rectum to the prostate and seminal vesicles, which can sometimes be stimulated during straining. However, if this happens frequently or is accompanied by pain, discomfort, or any other unusual symptoms, it would be wise to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

As for your concerns about masturbation, it's important to note that masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual activity. It does not inherently lead to infertility or a decrease in sperm count. In fact, regular ejaculation, whether through masturbation or sexual intercourse, can help maintain healthy sperm production. The body continuously produces sperm, and while excessive masturbation might lead to temporary fatigue or a decrease in the volume of ejaculate, it does not have lasting effects on fertility.

Now, regarding the foamy urine you mentioned, this can be caused by several factors. Foamy urine can sometimes indicate the presence of protein, which could be a sign of kidney issues, but it can also occur due to dehydration or the speed of urination. If you are well-hydrated and still notice persistent foamy urine, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare provider. They may recommend a urinalysis to check for protein levels and other potential issues.

In terms of fertility, at 23 years old, you are generally in a good age range for reproductive health. If you have concerns about your sperm count or quality, a semen analysis can provide valuable information. This test evaluates various parameters, including sperm count, motility, and morphology, which are crucial for fertility.

If you are planning to conceive, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential. This includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and managing stress. These factors can all contribute positively to your reproductive health.

Lastly, if you have ongoing concerns about your sexual health, fertility, or urinary issues, it is always best to seek advice from a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation and help address any underlying issues you may be experiencing.

In summary, your experiences with ejaculation during bowel movements and foamy urine may not be indicative of serious health issues, but they warrant attention if they persist. Masturbation is a normal activity and does not negatively impact fertility. If you have concerns about your sperm health or urinary symptoms, consulting a healthcare provider is the best course of action.
