What Causes Scanty Ejaculation?

I m a 66 year old male in reasonabley good physical condition. I workout 2 to 4 times a week and have been doin so for more than 30 years. I m sexually active at least 2-3 times weekly usually with the same women. Lately I ve noticed a reduced amount of spearm when I ejaculate. I don t have a problem obtaining or maintaining an erection nor is there any lack of sensation. I his a normal thing for a 66 year old male or is something I should be concerned about?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

These symptoms indicate in most cases prostate issues such as prostatitis or hypertrophy, and rarely it may be a sign of STD infection. You should avoid intercourse for till symptoms persist and drink plenty of fluids. If symptoms persist, it would be good to do a prostate ultrasound and check your PSA levels to rule out a prostate tumor or hypertrophy, and further treatment depends on these findings. In most cases, it can be controlled with medications, but sometimes, in case of a tumor, open surgery required. And severe benign hypertrophy may be managed endoscopically, so you should consult urologist about appropriate options.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
 Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
