Question:
My husband is 46. Lately when we have intercourse his sperm ejaculation is less than before. Should I be concerned about this, or is it normal as men get older? I would appreciate any help on this matter.

Answer:
The volume of the male ejaculate (the semen) is dependant on the frequency of lovemaking, the quality of male climax and testosterone. The more frequent the man has sex the lower the semen volume will be. If he is very aroused his ejaculate will be more and if his testosterone level is low normal, the accessory sexual glands will be less active and will produce a small volume when he ejaculates. Taking Onions will not help. It will make lovemaking repulsive. Tell him to take water soluble extract of Tongkat Ali if he is keen to try herbal preparation. If this persists he may need to see his physician for a medical check to check his testosterone and other signs of Andropause. He may need Testosterone replacement therapy if the assessment is positive for Andropause.
