Patient's question:
What is the reason for the gradual decrease in the amount of my semen? I am 23 years old, unmarried, and have had manual stimulation for 5 years. Recently, I had very frequent manual stimulation, and the amount of semen was also very high. However, for the past ten days, I haven't had any manual stimulation, and last night I discovered that the amount of semen was very little. Please ask the doctor what could be the reason for the decrease in the amount of my semen?Doctor's answer:
Hello! A semen volume of less than 2 ml each time is called oligozoospermia. Causes of reduced semen volume: ① Obstruction of the vas deferens or congenital absence of the seminal vesicles; ② Diseases of the pituitary gland or interstitial cells of the testes, leading to a decrease in gonadotropins or estrogen, resulting in reduced semen production; ③ Infectious diseases of the reproductive tract can also cause dysfunction of accessory glands, leading to reduced semen production. It is recommended that you first undergo testing to identify the cause of oligozoospermia. As long as the cause is identified, the treatment difficulty will not be very high.
