Aicardi Syndrome and Klinefelter Syndrome
Published in Dongyou Liu, Handbook of Tumor Syndromes, 2020
Although XXY males make some healthy sperm during puberty, they do not seem to produce enough sperm to fertilize an egg naturally in adulthood. Assistive reproductive technology (ART, such as testicular sperm extraction with intracytoplasmic sperm injection [TESE-ICSI]) is helpful in improving the infertility of Klinefelter syndrome patients. Collecting and storing sperm from adolescent XXY males also helps increase the success of subsequent fertility treatments. In addition, early sperm cryopreservation may be undertaken for young adults with spermaturia and/or oligospermia in semen before testosterone administration which may suppress any remaining spermatogenesis [29–31].

The First Ejaculation: A Male Pubertal Milestone Comparable to Menarche?
Published in The Journal of Sex Research, 2020
It has long been questioned whether the occurrence of spermaturia implies ejaculation has necessarily occurred or if spermaturia can occur independently of ejaculation. Wilhelm and Seligmann (1937) found spermaturia in 55 of 75 urine samples from two reportedly abstinent men, concluding that spermatozoa can indeed travel out the urethra independent of ejaculation. Later research conducted on men abstaining from sexual activity asserted that urination is not a feasible alternative route for accumulated spermatozoa escaping the body (Barratt & Cooke, 1988; Weissenberg, Rozenman, Hova, Modan, & Lunenfeld, 1984). However, given that spermaturia has been found to be more common in pre- and mid-puberty than in late puberty, it has also been proposed that the predominant cause of spermaturia may shift throughout the lifetime: In early puberty, when sperm is not being ejaculated out of the body, sperm may flow continuously down the urethra, whereas at later stages of puberty, spermaturia may be primarily due to post-ejaculatory urethral washing (Pedersen et al., 1993). Should this be the case, a natural interpretation is that early adolescent sexual arousal that does not result in ejaculation of sperm may still cause sperm to be transported into the prostatic urethra, but its subsequent release from the body is through retrograde ejaculation as spermaturia.
