How can I prevent ejaculatory duct obstruction?

There’s currently no way to prevent a blockage in your ejaculatory duct. If you’re worried about any genetic issues, you can make an appointment with a genetic counselor who’ll be able to work with you.

Some medications can affect ejaculation but aren’t a cause of obstruction. You may be able to improve ejaculation if you avoid:

  • Medications called alpha blockers (for example, tamsulosin)
  • Blood pressure medications, including thiazides, prazosin and phentolamine.
  • Antipsychotic medications, including thioridazine (Mellaril®), haloperidol (Haldol®) and chlordiazepoxide (Librium®).
  • Antidepressants, including imipramine and amitriptyline.

Don’t stop taking any of these medications without first talking to your healthcare provider.
