Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Everything I have read on this says age as we get older this happens. I do some supplements that help. I do L-Aginine and Maca. Here is a good cut & paste on this. Phil Eat Right for Maximum Ejaculate Nutrition plays a great role in determining both the content and volume of your ejaculate. Naturally, a balanced diet is essential for good sexual health, but the vitamins, minerals and supplements listed below can have a dramatic effect on the volume of ejaculate your body produces. The supplement L-Arginine is an amino acid the body uses for a variety of important chemical and cellular processes. . .it is also believed to help you produce more volume of ejaculate. 500mg daily and (this is important...) 1,000mg 30-40 minutes prior to sexual activity. Like all natural supplements, you must be patient and allow your body's " storehouse " to build-up. This period takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending upon the individuals baseline health and metabolic rate. Zinc - One of the nutrients most critical for prostate health. The prostate needs 10 times more zinc than any other organ in the body. It is vital for preventing prostate problems. Unfortunately, 90% of men consume diets deficient in Zinc because most of our food is processed. Irving Bush and Associates at Chicago's Cook County Hospital tested the effectiveness of Zinc supplementation on men with prostate problems. All patients reported symptomatic improvement while almost 80% had palpable shrinkage of the prostate gland. RDA is 15 mg...we recommend 45 mg per day. Lycopene - is a natural anti-oxident that is prevalent in tomatoes. Recent studies show it to have roughly twice the power of Beta-Carotene and 10 times the strength of Vitamin E, when it comes to protecting and healing our bodies from the damage of free radicals which are the cancer precursors. In fact, free radicals are now considered to be one of the main causes of disease and aging. In a process known as oxidation, they accelerate the breakdown of our cell's structure, thereby damaging the DNA and weakening our immune system. A four year study at Harvard University set out to see whether the five major antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables would have any beneficial effect on prostate cancer. Of the five, only Lycopene was found to have a direct link. They found that of the 50,000 healthy males studied, those who ate at least 10 servings of tomatoes or tomato based products per week were 33% less likely to develop prostate complications than those who never ate them. Researchers concluded that the active antioxidant in tomatoes, Lycopene, significantly reduced the risk of prostate difficulties and improved its function. We recommend 10-12 servings of tomatoes or tomato based foods per week. Do not use or ingest if allergic. Beta-Sitosterol - is another nutrient that may benefit men with prostate problems. One double blind study of 100 men showed that Beta-Sitosterol taken over a six month period improved urine flow, reduced the size of the prostate and led to subjective feelings of improvement. Niacin - is important for many cellular processes. Supplementation with extra niacin in your diet will promote increased blood flow to all parts of your body. . .including the scrotum and testicles. thombow <thombow@...> wrote: Why does having low T cause this? If you're replacing the T and taking HcG shouldn't it be working? I used to shoot 3 or 4 " strings " now maybe a teaspoon and it doesn't shoot at all. It is sticky, like there's not enough fluid. Sometimes it doesn't even come out on the first contraction. And the orgasm isn't as pleasurable. And after I'm flacid some clear fluid will leak out. Never had these problems prior to hypogonadism. Any ideas? Don't say drink more water, tried it. And besides I was a shooter before and never guzzled water. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi Thombow When we have discussed this previously it has been in terms of prostate effects. However, the topic is complex as you can imagine. In looking at the literature I also came across this paper which says when we have a PSA we should not ejaculate for at least 24 hours PRIOR to test! ____ PSA testing within 24 hours after ejaculation may lead to an erroneous interpretation of the results of both total and percent free PSA measurements in a small proportion of men. _____________________________ I know many have asked if we can ejaculate prior to blood tests for T but this is also one test we need at least annually _____________ Effect of ejaculation on serum total and free prostate-specific antigen concentrations. Herschman JD, DS, Catalona WJ. Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, USA. OBJECTIVES: Measurement of total serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used as an aid to early detection of prostate cancer. Measurement of the ratio of free to total PSA may increase the specificity of PSA testing. To improve specificity further, other factors that may cause transient increases in PSA, such as ejaculation, have been identified. We prospectively studied the effect of ejaculation on total and free PSA levels and examined whether changes induced by ejaculation would affect recommendations for performing prostatic biopsy. METHODS: We measured the baseline total and free serum PSA levels and obtained measurements 1.6, and 24 hours after ejaculation in 20 volunteers (mean age 59 years). All men had baseline PSA levels less than 4.0 ng/mL. We used repeated-measures analysis of variance to test for changes in total, free, and percent free PSA after ejaculation. We also calculated the proportion of men with PSA levels greater than the expected biologic variability at each timepoint. RESULTS: The mean total, free, and percent free serum PSA increased 1 hour after ejaculation. Mean total PSA levels remained significantly increased 6 and 24 hours after ejaculation. Mean free PSA decreased to baseline levels by 6 hours after ejaculation, and percent free PSA returned to baseline by 6 hours after ejaculation and then decreased below baseline by 24 hours. When normal biologic variation was accounted for, 40% of men, at 24 hours after ejaculation, had total PSA levels above the baseline level. Similarly, 24 hours after ejaculation, the percent free PSA remained above baseline level in 10% and below baseline level in 35% of the men. CONCLUSIONS: Both total and free PSA increase immediately after ejaculation, with differing rates of return to baseline levels. PSA testing within 24 hours after ejaculation may lead to an erroneous interpretation of the results of both total and percent free PSA measurements in a small proportion of men.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 L arginine at at least a dose of 6 grams a day helped me. I took it in conjunction with Maca. Both are reported to increase ejaculate. It certainly did for me. More and fuller and more pleasant contractions. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have been doing T replacement with arimidex. My numbers are in good range but ejaculate volume is very low. I also do 300 IU HCG injections, 3 times per week. Any suggestions on how to improve volume of ejaculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
