Ejaculatory Function

Meaning

Ejaculatory Function is the complex neurophysiological process in the male reproductive system that culminates in the expulsion of semen from the urethra. This function is a precise, coordinated sequence involving sympathetic, parasympathetic, and somatic nervous system activity, as well as the coordinated contraction of smooth and striated muscles. Clinical evaluation of this function is a key component of male sexual health assessment, particularly in the context of hormonal imbalances, neurological conditions, or age-related changes. Maintaining optimal function is integral to reproductive health, psychological well-being, and overall quality of life.
