A device, system, and method for closing and reopening a sphincter in a body, such as for closing and opening an internal urinary sphincter of a bladder, thereby blocking retrograde ejaculation, by employing controllable electromagnets. Using the present device, system, and method, the patients can selectively close their bladder's sphincter as desired, for example, to selectively block retrograde ejaculation, preventing semen from entering the bladder of the patient and thereby preventing infertility of the patient. The solution helps regain the elasticity function of the sphincter to allow it to close as per normal to prevent retrograde ejaculation. A series of magnetizable metal objects are positioned in or surrounding the bladder wall at the junction with the urethra, with each of the magnetizable metal objects being electromagnetically controlled to have a controllable closing/reopening of the bladder's sphincter, thereby preventing retrograde ejaculation while also allowing the passage of urine as per normal.
A device for assisting in electromagnetically closing and reopening an internal urinary sphincter in a bladder of a patient, the device comprising:
A method for treating retrograde ejaculation in a patient, the method comprising:
