Why Has There Been A Reduction In The Volume Of Semen During Ejaculation?
Question: I am 68 years old and have recently noticed that the volume of semen when I ejaculate is greatly reduced or sometime non existent. I do not have any difficulty achieving climax. Other that riding my bicycle a lot I can't think of anything else that would be interferring with that process. Any thoughts?

Low semen ,how to improve it?
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There are several reasons that can lead to reduced semen.
Decreased levels of testosterone in the body with age, may also have a negative impact on the amount of ejaculate that you are able to produce.
There are specific medications that may lead to sperm problems, including alpha-blockers, which are specific types of blood pressure medications.
If you smoke you have significantly more problems with semen production than men who do not smoke.
The same thing is for alcohol and drugs.
Also anxiety and psychological problem contribute to low sperm volume.
Also using bicycle can affect low semen by increasing the temperature of testicles and compressing nerve and vessels of testicles for long time.
