Ejaculation issues
I have noticed that during ejaculation (masturbation), it only comes out as fluid without any semen.
Is this a sign of illness? I asked my peers, and their teacher said it might be due to excessive frequency, but even after I stopped for a week, it’s still the same.
What could be the issue? I'm only in my 30s...

More Info
Ejaculation issues can be a source of concern for many men, especially those in their 30s. It's important to understand that various factors can contribute to changes in ejaculation, including physical health, psychological well-being, and lifestyle choices.
From your description, it seems that you are experiencing a situation where ejaculation is occurring without the typical force or sensation that you might expect. This can be referred to as "delayed ejaculation" or "ejaculatory dysfunction," and it can manifest in different ways, such as a lack of ejaculation, reduced volume of ejaculate, or a feeling of incomplete ejaculation.
Possible Causes
1. Physical Health Issues:
- Hormonal Imbalances: Testosterone levels can significantly impact sexual function. Low testosterone can lead to reduced libido and issues with ejaculation.
- Neurological Conditions: Conditions affecting the nervous system can interfere with the signals that trigger ejaculation.
- Chronic Illness: Conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or even certain surgeries can affect ejaculation.
- Medications: Some medications, particularly antidepressants and blood pressure medications, can have side effects that impact sexual function.
2. Psychological Factors:
- Stress and Anxiety: Mental health plays a crucial role in sexual performance. Anxiety about sexual performance or stress from other areas of life can lead to difficulties with ejaculation.
- Depression: This can also affect libido and sexual function, leading to changes in how ejaculation occurs.
- Relationship Issues: Problems in a relationship can create tension that affects sexual performance.
3. Lifestyle Factors:
- Frequency of Sexual Activity: While some believe that frequent masturbation can lead to issues, it is not universally accepted. However, if you are experiencing changes after frequent activity, it may be worth considering.
- Substance Use: Alcohol and recreational drugs can impair sexual function and ejaculation.
Solutions and Recommendations
1. Consult a Healthcare Professional: The first step is to speak with a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist or a sexual health specialist. They can perform a thorough evaluation, including blood tests to check hormone levels and assess any underlying health conditions.
2. Review Medications: If you are taking any medications, discuss them with your doctor to see if they could be contributing to your symptoms.
3. Psychological Support: If stress, anxiety, or depression is a factor, consider speaking with a mental health professional. Therapy can help address underlying issues and improve sexual function.
4. Lifestyle Changes:
- Healthy Diet and Exercise: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can improve overall well-being and sexual health.
- Limit Alcohol and Avoid Drugs: Reducing or eliminating these substances can have a positive effect on sexual function.
5. Open Communication: If you are in a relationship, communicate openly with your partner about your experiences. This can help reduce anxiety and foster a supportive environment.
6. Patience and Understanding: Sexual health can fluctuate, and it’s important to be patient with yourself as you navigate these changes.
In conclusion, ejaculation issues can stem from a variety of causes, and addressing them often requires a multifaceted approach. Seeking professional help is crucial to identify the underlying issues and develop an effective treatment plan. Remember, you are not alone in this, and many men experience similar challenges at different stages of life.
