Can ejaculation volume be increased?

Can the amount of semen/fluid in an ejaculation be increased? I have noticed that my ejaculation output has diminised greatly. Can this be corrected/fixed?

Dear Rock,
Semen includes secretions from the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and periurethral glands, in addition to the sperm that is delivered from the testicles through the vas deferens. Ejaculate volume normally ranges from 1.5 to 5 cc, and which varies from person to person and situation to situation. Decreasing ejaculate volume is a normal and expected. It’s part of the process of aging that starts rather early. It generally does not affects one’s fertility, unless the volume becomes abnormally low (less than 1.5 cc) or there is a problem with the quality or quantity of sperm. There are not any medications prescribed to treat this normal phenomenon. However, with longer periods of foreplay prior to ejaculation, or ejaculation after a short period of abstinence (although this is a relative term), there is a noticed increase in ejaculate volume.
Hope this answers your question to your satisfaction. Wish you the best.
