Can prostate cancer, if left untreated, affect a man's ejaculate?
I'm 60 years old and have prostate cancer. It has not be treated. Can it affect a man's ejaculate? My ejaculate is extremely reduced. So, are the two related? Can the ejaculate volume be restored somehow? If so, how?

The prostate accounts for a large majority of the ejaculate volume. Prostrate cancer would account for the decreased volume. I would recommend treatment of the cancer first and foremost. Once the prostate is in good health, the volume may be restored.
