When to see a doctor

By Mayo Clinic staff

In most cases, dry orgasm isn't harmful. But it's still a good idea to talk to your doctor about it to be sure your condition isn't caused by an underlying problem that needs attention. If you have dry orgasms and are attempting to father a child, you may need treatment to get your partner pregnant.
