Patient's question:
What are the reasons for a small amount of semen? I am almost 22 years old and not married, but I used to have frequent masturbation for several years, and during that time, my semen volume was also high. However, recently, I haven't masturbated for more than ten days, and last night I noticed that my semen volume was very low. Please ask the doctor what are the reasons for a small amount of 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 Disorders 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 undergo tests to identify the cause of oligozoospermia. Once the cause is identified, the treatment difficulty will not be very high.
