Patient's question:
Penis leaks sperm as soon as it becomes erect, and it also happens during dreams occasionally. I want to know if this is a normal phenomenon.Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation is a common physiological phenomenon in males after puberty. Married men, under normal circumstances, may experience 1-2 episodes of nocturnal emission per month, which is in line with normal physiological patterns. If a married man experiences excessive nocturnal emissions or continues to have them after getting married and engaging in sexual activity, it is considered frequent nocturnal emission, a pathological condition in terms of sexual function. Occasional nocturnal emission during dreams is called "dream ejaculation." As long as it is not frequent, it should be harmless. Additionally, the discharge of a small amount of clear liquid after penile erection is a normal phenomenon involving secretions from the urethral glands or prostate and is not considered nocturnal emission. There is no need to worry about it.
