Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have noticed that volume of semen that you ejaculate has reduced recently and sometimes none.

The volume of the semen gets reduced with advanced age and this is nature's law.

Water constitutes 98% of the semen volume so semen volume depends upon the status of hydration in the body.

Semen production takes 36 -48 hours so It also depends upon the frequency of ejaculation (,more frequent is the ejaculation less is the volume.)

Following measure will help to increase the semen volume .
1) Practice regular exercise especially pelvic exercises for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.this will help to improve blood supply to prostate and help in secreting more prostatic fluid which is one of the main component of semen.
2) Take high protein diet XXXXXXX in vegetables and fruits and Vitamin A,C,D,E.Zinc.
3)Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 everyday..
4) Avoid alcohol and smoking , coffee and alcohol beverages.to keep your body well hydrated.
5) Consume more water .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and detail evaluation to rule out possibility of retrograde ejaculation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions I shall be happy to help you.
Thanks with Regards.
