Low Semen Volume
Semen volume is how much fluid you ejaculate. Sperm count is how many sperm are in it. They are different conditions with different causes, and nearly every product marketed for one cites research about the other. The WHO’s 2021 lower reference limit for semen volume is 1.4 mL — a fifth-percentile value from men whose partners conceived within a year, so it is a prompt to look further, not a diagnosis. And the largest single influence on any given ejaculate is simply how long it has been since the last one.
