There is no set time. If you ejaculate a lot then the volume will be reduced proportionate to the frequency and resume to normal in a few days after stopping

Ejaculation fluid comes from the prostate and is mixed with sperm. The combination is called semen and in young men is not affected by masturbation. Cloudy urine can be caused by semen that goes backward into the bladder called retrograde ejaculation and can be associated with certain medications and sometimes caffeine. It can also be a urinary tract infection. See you doctor for an evaluation.
