Mike,
I also had a vasectomy about 15 yrs ago, also got prostatitis since,
and also over the years saw my ejaculate do as yours has done.
Some of the folks who have been cured of their prostatitis by Dr.
Feliciano's or variant method, I think, have reported increased
ejaculate. Maybe they could elaborate.

Funny. I thought my changes of this type were due to my TUR, which (I
thought) left me with partial retrograde ejaculation. I suppose that
obstruction somewhere could cause similar changes.

Laws of Tradition: (1) Nothing is ever lost.
(2) Nothing ever stays the same.
Your ejaculate volume is reduced for two reasons:
1. The acini are clogged and thus the prostate can't provide its
usual 1/6 but this is so small a percentage that it's doubtfull that
you would notice it.
2. The swollen prostate is constricting/blocking the ejaculatory
ducts which provide most of the ejaculant by volume. The ej. duct is
fed by the seminal vesicle (4/6 of the usual ejaculant by volume) and
the vas deferens from the testicle (only 1%). The seminal vesicles
can also harbor an infection when they get blocked.
When I started DIY massage there was very little ejaculant. Several
weeks afterwards the ejaculant returned in full force. So I'm
convinced that reason number 2 is the main reason the ejaculant volume
is low.
The Dr. Feliciano treatment is the best way to go. If you can't get
that then try DIY.

I can only guestimate. I'd say both the volume and force of the ejaculate
expelled was about 50% greater after my cure.

The current thinking about blocked acini sacs might suggest that some
fluid from the prostate would not be expelled?
