Detailed explanation-1: -In a healthy male, it is possible to urinate and ejaculate at the same time. Which gland may carry sperm that is released prior to ejaculation? What is sperm count of a functionally sterile male?
Detailed explanation-2: -The urethra is the channel that carries the sperm (in fluid called semen) to the outside of the body through the penis. The urethra is also part of the urinary system because it is also the channel through which pee passes as it leaves the bladder and exits the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Can urine and sperm come out together? Often, semen can only flow out when the penis is stiff and almost at the climax. However, when a penis is erect, urine doesn’t usually pass through the urethra. So although sperm and urine both pass through the urethra, they are unlikely to be released together.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sperm in urinary sediment are usually derived from the first post-ejaculatory voiding [1], and in older men sperm are sometimes found in urinary sediment due to reduced contraction of the internal urethral sphincter [2].
Detailed explanation-5: -With retrograde ejaculation, the bladder neck muscle doesn’t tighten properly. As a result, sperm can enter the bladder instead of being ejected out of your body through the penis.
