Patient's question:
I am 15 years old. I will have nocturnal emissions again at night. I don't understand this physiological reaction very well. What are nocturnal emissions?Doctor's answer:
Males enter puberty between the ages of 12 and 14. At this time, the excretion of male hormones in the body increases, and males will experience the re-emergence of secondary sexual characteristics, as well as sexual desire, sexual urges, and sexual arousal. During this period, the recurrence of nocturnal emissions is also normal. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. As long as nocturnal emissions do not exceed eight times per month, it is considered normal. You do not need to worry or feel upset about it. After nocturnal emissions, it is sufficient to maintain good hygiene and cleanliness in the genital area.
