Patient's question:
I wake up every morning and find sperm in my underwear. I'd like to ask, does the occurrence of nocturnal emissions in boys indicate the beginning or the end of development?Doctor's answer:
After entering puberty, men may experience nocturnal emissions within one to two years. The peak age for nocturnal emissions is around 18. For unmarried men, experiencing nocturnal emissions is a normal phenomenon. Unlike menstruation, nocturnal emissions do not follow a regular pattern. However, if the frequency of nocturnal emissions is high, it may be considered a medical condition. After the testicles and penis have developed, the ability to ejaculate is achieved, and at this point, some boys have already reached reproductive maturity. Therefore, nocturnal emissions are a normal physiological phenomenon.
