New procedure aids paraplegic fathers electroejaculation breakthrough
Paraplegic men once told they could not conceive are finding hope through electroejaculation. Drs Emil Tanaghe and Wayne Hellstrom cite 40 successful cases aiding 8,000 potential fathers in the US and potentially helping two thousand five hundred more cancer patients. A New Orleans patient, Jack Taylor, became a father after the treatment. The method uses a rectal probe to deliver a 10 volt stimulus to nerves near the prostate, triggering semen movement for insemination or assisted techniques if needed.
