One consideration would be some sort of anatomical stricture that may be causing the blockage. A urethral polyp or stricture can cause this. There is also concern about a blockage of the ejaculatory duct.
I would consider a referral to a urologist. A cystoscopy can be considered. Diagnostic tests to evaluate the patentcy of the ejaculary ducts can also be considered. I would also consider having what is left of the ejaculate analyzed in a sperm sample.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
