The normal volume of an ejaculate in adult men is between 1.5-6 ml. The volume mainly depends upon the development of the glands secreting the seminal fluid (prostate & seminal vesicles), male hormone levels, period of abstinence prior to ejaculation, and amount of sexual stimulation. It is quite subjective to judge the amount and consistency of semen by the naked eye. Only a proper semen analysis can provide reliable information about various semen parameters. An abnormal semen analysis might signify a decreased fertility but shouldn’t affect potency unless associated will abnormal male hormone levels. You should visit a physician for a check-up. Men above 40 should have routine physical and laboratory check-ups including a digital rectal examination for the prostate gland as well as a blood test for PSA (prostate specific antigen).
