What are the reasons for a small amount of semen?

Patient's question:

First time having sex after a month, the semen was very little. If having sex once a day, there was no semen flowing out of the woman's vagina after ejaculation. This has been going on for a year.

Doctor's answer:

Here is the English translation of the provided text:
"Common causes of low semen volume are as follows:
1. Physiological hyposemenia is seen in patients with frequent sexual activity. For example, some men engage in sexual intercourse once or several times daily, resulting in relatively lower semen volume per ejaculation.
2. Pathological hyposemenia is primarily caused by seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis. Studies show that 60% of semen is secreted by the seminal vesicles, and 25% is secreted by the prostate. When the seminal vesicles or prostate are inflamed, the production of semen naturally decreases, and inflammation can also block the openings of these glands, obstructing semen discharge.
3. Some cases of pathological hyposemenia are due to insufficient testicular function or endocrine disorders in the body.
4. A small number of patients have urethral disorders, such as urethral stricture or urethral diverticula, which prevent semen from being fully expelled during ejaculation."
