I've noticed a big drop in my semen volume over the last 30 days it went from around 4ml to just 1ml, sometimes only a couple drops when I masturbate. I'm 31, not diabetic, haven't had any surgeries, and I'm not on any meds. What could be causing this and which specialist should I see about it?

I'm unmarried and usually masturbate 2 or 3 times a week. I'm worried if this could affect my health or sexual life in the future. Is there anything I should do to stop or reduce it? Could it be causing any internal issues that I should know about?
