Patient's question:
I have experienced nocturnal emissions twice, and each time it felt similar to masturbation. Is there sexual pleasure in nocturnal emissions?Doctor's answer:
Consider the manifestations of kidney deficiency as mentioned in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The symptoms of spermatorrhea and involuntary ejaculation are caused by the deficiency of kidney essence. This is clearly harmful to the body. By integrating the tongue and pulse diagnosis, use of herbs that nourish essence, replenish marrow, invigorate qi, and consolidate the foundation should be applied for regulation. Increase fluid intake and urination to promote the body's metabolism. Avoid harmful stimuli, such as watching pornographic videos and reading erotic books. It is likely due to kidney deficiency, but excessive masturbation is also a possible cause.
