Another Wierd Question

So as of May 1 this year I am 3 years out from my surgery.
This is the question.

I have a problem and I wonder if any of you guys have experienced this at all.
I have noticed that some time after the surgery that I rarely produce semen after ****** I know that I do not drink enough water and I am curious if that would cause this problem. I looked up the problem online and It could be Retrograde *********** but from time to time I do actually produce semen. I saw a doctor over a year ago and he was thinking the same thing but because it doesnt happen all the time he was not sure. I do not have insurance at this time so the cost to go back is more than what i can afford at this time.

Do any of you guys experience this?

There's a valve in your body. It goes one way for urine. The other way for semen. Retrograde *********** is when the valve is set to urine. When you come it goes up the urinary tract. 

The test for it is to come and then pee. Semen in the pee and you're diagnosed.

Are/Were you diabetic? If you were then the generally accepted diagnosis is neuropathy. I.e. nerve damage at this valve.

I am aware of Retrograde *********** The Dr. at the time didnt think it was this because I do come from time to time. He said that in cases of retrograde you never come or at least normally.

I am Diabetic but this problem happened shortly after my surgery and at the same time when I no longer drink fluids like I should.

Just a thought, if you are dehydrated then you might be producing semen without it mixing with liquid from the (prostate??) gland.  As a diabetic myself I may have this to look forward to!!

That's funny, as I asked a similar question on the DS forum a few weeks ago, although in a somewhat different form ..

 I had asked whether any post-op male DSers on there had conceived any children after their surgery, as I was curious as to the effect the DS had on our fertility.  We had many post-op F DSers who posted about their having a child after surgery, but I could not recall seeing any males who posted such news before on OH. 

  Although I didn't mention it specifically, the reason I was wondering about this is that my semen amount also seems to have decreased considerably since my surgery ..  I'm thinking that if the semen amount is down, then the sperm count is also likely decreased as well ..   I am more concerned, though, in that my urine output also seems to hae decreased considerably since my surgery, although I drink at least the same amount of lfuids as I did before, and am not dehydrated (at least visibly).

  It will be interesting to see what other guys say on this thread ..

Also, some antidepressants can also do this (retrograde ***********).
