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 men 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 has excessive nocturnal emissions or continues to experience them after engaging in sexual activity, this is considered frequent nocturnal emission, a pathological condition in terms of sexual function. Occasional nocturnal emission during dreams is referred to as "dream ejaculation." As long as it is not frequent, it should not be a concern. Additionally, the emission of a small amount of clear liquid after penile erection is a normal phenomenon involving secretions from the urethral glands or prostate and does not constitute nocturnal emission. There is no need to worry about it.
