During a semen analysis, most attention is focused on sperm count, motility, and morphology. However, the total volume of fluid ejaculated—the seminal plasma—is also a key factor in reproductive health. If your semen analysis report indicates a low ejaculate volume, understanding the common hypospermia causes is essential to evaluating your fertility.
This comprehensive guide explains the clinical parameters of semen volume, the hormonal and structural causes of low volume, and the fertility treatments available to support conception.
Causes of Low Semen Volume
Hypospermia features an ejaculate volume below 1.5 ml. Key causes include retrograde ejaculation (where semen flows back into the bladder, read our retrograde ejaculation guide) and ejaculatory duct blockages. Sperm is retrieved via TESA for IVF/ICSI. Read details in our TESA procedure guide.
Evaluate Your Semen Parameters
A comprehensive semen analysis checks all fluid and cell parameters to find the cause of fertility challenges. If you want to check your ejaculate parameters, you can schedule a semen analysis at Pravi Global IVF.
