Understanding Normal Ejaculation

Normal ejaculation ranges from 1.5 to 5 cc in volume, with longer periods of abstinence leading to increased semen production. There are important colors to monitor in semen, specifically bright red, which typically indicates a benign issue, and black, which can signal serious conditions like melanoma. Men are often misinformed about the volume of semen produced, as the belief that one can produce a liter is far from accurate. Healthcare providers should assess patients with persistent blood in semen through imaging techniques such as MRI or ultrasound when necessary, taking care to ensure the tests are conducted and interpreted by qualified specialists.
