For several years, whilst I have been able to have satisfactory sexual intercourse, the amount I ejaculate has been diminishing.
I have now reached the stage where there is virtually no ejaculate whatsoever.
This is too personal a question for me to confront with my own GP, but it is now becoming something of a worry.
Whilst I still have a climax, it is less pleasurable because of my concerns about not having a physical result.
Is this something I can rectify, or a sign of something more sinister?
No, it's not a sign of anything sinister, but it does need checking out.
Research shows that the volume of a man's ejaculate does diminish with age. But it shouldn't go down to virtually zero – which is what you're saying.
At your age, it would be usual to produce perhaps two mls. (which is less than half a teaspoon).
However, if you feel you're producing a good deal less than that, then you really ought to talk to a doctor and have an examination of your sex organs, including your prostate.
Do you really feel you can't talk to your GP about this? If so, then an alternative would be to go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic for a chat.
Ring your nearest large hospital and ask them where the GUM clinic is.

Communities > Urology > Very little or no semen
I am 30 years old and just recently have been able to produce very little or no semen. I have no problem with getting an erection and I have no pain in that area. I find this strange because a month ago I didn't have this problem and I have no clue what the problem could be. I am diabetic and have been since I was 11 so I am wondering if that could be playing a roll. If anyone has gone through this or has any idea of what the problem could be please let me know your advice.
Thanks.
There are many reasons for this according to the Mayo Clinic. It could be due to the diabetes. You should probably see a urologist to make sure that it is nothing serious. Here is what I found for causes on the Mayo Clinic site:
* Bladder cancer
* Blocked sperm duct (ejaculatory duct obstruction)
* Congenital anomalies of the reproductive system
* Diabetes
* Medications used to treat high blood pressure, prostate enlargement and mood disorders
* Multiple sclerosis
* Open prostatectomy
* Prostate laser surgery
* Radiation therapy
* Retrograde ejaculation
* Seminal vesicle obstruction
* Spinal cord injury
* Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP)
* Transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT)
* Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA)
* Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)

Low Testosterone in Women By Madeline R. Vann, MPH February 23, 2015

Low testosterone is just one factor that can lead to a decrease in semen volume. Learn how certain medications, your age, and frequent ejaculation can also affect male ejaculate.
The amount of semen released during ejaculation is not an exact science. In fact, it's normal for the volume to fluctuate. Certain factors, however, can contribute to a reduction in male ejaculate, including your age, particular medications, or even a surgical procedure you've had. Experts note that low testosterone levels , which affect about 5 million American men, can also result in the release of less semen during ejaculation. Although it doesn't affect your ability to have an orgasm, some men may find a decrease in the volume of ejaculate troubling.
"The experience will vary among individuals, but it's not uncommon for a man to be disconcerted or displeased with a sudden change in normal ejaculation," said Ryan P. Terlecki, MD, an assistant professor in the urology department at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Although the average male ejaculate volume is 3 to 5 cubic centimeters (cc), it can range from 0.8 to 7.6 cc. Contrary to popular belief, only a small portion of male ejaculate is produced in the testicles . Most of the sperm-containing fluid released through the ejaculatory duct comes from the seminal vesicles, two glands near the prostate , and the prostate itself, explained Ahmer Farooq, DO, an assistant professor of urology at the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola University in Maywood, Ill.
When testosterone levels are adequate, these three parts of the body work together to produce male ejaculate. Any interruption in this process, such as an obstruction, scar tissue, or injury, can affect volume. Low testosterone levels, commonly known as low T, may also be to blame.
Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone. It helps produce sperm cells, keeps muscles and bones strong, and helps men stay interested in sex.
"One of first markers of low T is loss of sexual desire," said Dr. Farooq. "The body uses very little testosterone for libido, so it's often the first sign."
The normal range of testosterone for men is between 300 and 1100 nanograms (ng) per deciliter (dl) of blood. Along with loss of sex drive , if you have very low testosterone levels, you may notice the following symptoms:
Low T can also result in the production of less seminal fluid. Because the seminal vesicles and the prostate need testosterone to do their job properly, low levels of this vital hormone can lead to decreased secretions from these organs. As a result, you may experience low-volume ejaculate.
Here are additional conditions that might lead to a decrease in semen volume:
Obstruction. "Some men may be born with an ejaculatory duct obstruction, but that would be found early on in life," said Farooq. He added that scar tissue or surgery on the prostate, bladder, or urethra can also result in reduced volume of male ejaculate. If there is more than 2 cc of fluid, however, he says that low semen volume is probably not the result of an obstruction.
Retrograde ejaculation. This occurs when semen goes backwards into the bladder rather than forward out of the penis, resulting in less semen being released during ejaculation. Men who experience retrograde ejaculation are often taking medication, including alpha-blockers, to relax or shrink the prostate, noted Dr. Terlecki. He added that transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), a type of prostate surgery used to treat an enlarged prostate , can also lead to this condition.
Drugs. Certain antibiotics or antidepressants , such as lithium , can reduce semen volume. Farooq says that marijuana use has also been associated with a reduction in male ejaculate.
Age. As men get older, the amount of semen released during ejaculation often decreases. A study by researchers in Israel found an inverse relationship between semen volume , sperm quality, and men's age. The research revealed that men older than 55 experienced the most significant reductions in both volume and quality.
Abstinence. Men who ejaculate often may release less semen. Conversely, semen volume can increase with abstinence. In fact, in the first four days after ejaculation, semen volume has been shown to increase by 11.9 percent daily.
Releasing less semen during ejaculation does not prevent an orgasm. "Men who have had their prostate removed due to prostate cancer do not produce any ejaculate, but they can still have the same sensations and satisfaction," said Farooq.
However, having little or no ejaculate can affect some men's overall experience. "The actual forward ejaculation is often times related to the enjoyment of the male orgasm ," said Terlecki. "So, men with dry ejaculate may notice a decrease in their level of enjoyment."
