Ejaculation is a normal sexual function in men, a natural ability possessed by every male. Occasional variations in semen volume—whether excessive or insufficient—are generally harmless and should not be considered abnormal. Regular ejaculation not only does not harm health but actually benefits it, promoting healthy metabolism. If semen remains trapped in the reproductive tract, it will age and die.
To assess low semen volume, one can conduct a natural test: consciously abstain from sexual activity for 5-7 days, avoiding sexual thoughts and intercourse. Afterward, ejaculate again. If the semen volume increases significantly, it rules out reproductive organ disease. If the volume remains unchanged or decreases further, it may indicate pathological hypospermia.A volume exceeding 7 milliliters per ejaculation is also pathological, most commonly caused by seminal vesicle inflammation. Excessive semen volume essentially reflects increased seminal plasma secretion or leakage, while the total sperm count remains unchanged. This inevitably lowers sperm density within the semen and reduces conception chances. The notion that more semen equates to better health or fertility is incorrect.
Clinically, semen volume below 1.5 milliliters is diagnosed as oligospermia. This condition not only directly impacts sexual function but also constitutes a cause of male infertility.
Two primary factors contribute: first, some young men engage in frequent masturbation to relieve sexual tension; second, excessive sexual activity—particularly during the honeymoon phase when libido is heightened—involving multiple ejaculations daily or over consecutive days.After ejaculation, men typically replenish normal levels within 1-2 days. However, excessive ejaculation creates a "supply-demand imbalance," naturally reducing the volume of semen released each time. The low semen volume caused by these two situations is not a disease and requires no anxiety. Simply extending the interval between ejaculations allows the condition to resolve on its own.
Lack of sexual knowledge can cause men to fail to ejaculate. Those experiencing difficulty ejaculating often lack sexual knowledge.
Many male issues are closely related to ejaculation.Many couples frequently experience various ejaculation disorders, such as difficulty ejaculating, inability to ejaculate, painful ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, and so on... So what causes these issues?
Seven Major Bleeding Conditions in Men: Blood Loss During Ejaculation Is Hard to Recover
Men are often described as strong and resilient, with the saying "a man sheds blood but not tears." But did you know that blood loss in the following situations is difficult to replenish?
Retrograde Ejaculation from Sperm Retention May Cause Male Infertility
The reason sperm "change course and flow backward" is surprisingly due to Mr. Zhang's long-term "sperm retention." Without a normal release pathway, the sperm "turn around on their own" and head to the bladder! Why?
