One of my friend has interstitial cystitis/prostatitis. From last few months he is sometimes getting erections during night with a strong urge to pee. His therapist (PT) says its all due to pelvic dysfunction. He gets up but thinking that peeing with erection will weaken the muscles, he usually waits for few mins. But holding this pressure, he also feels slight ache in pubic area. PT says that this holding of urine is not like normal hold & can lead to a retrograde action passing little urine into ejaculatory duct/seminal vesicle.
He wants to know if there are chances that this way urine can get mix with sperms/semen. Since he has infection in his urine due to IC/Prostatitis so because of this his PT is suggesting him to go for artificial insemination if they want to plan for child.
I have also read that in IC/Prostatitis there is microbial imbalance which can get passed to spouse an fetus. Can someone confirm this too please ?
Thanks
