Patient's question:
I am 18 years old this year, and I have been in university for less than a year. Recently, I just got a girlfriend. Several times at night, I had dreams with intimate scenes, and I also experienced nocturnal emissions. This week, I have been experiencing frequent nocturnal emissions. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is normal to experience 2-3 nocturnal emissions per month. However, it is abnormal if the frequency of nocturnal emissions is too high, if they still occur despite having normal sexual activity, or if they happen while awake. Unusual nocturnal emissions are often associated with excessive preoccupation with sexual matters or poor sexual habits. Additionally, conditions such as phimosis, urethritis, prostatitis, and physical weakness or overexertion can also lead to nocturnal emissions. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Note to quit smoking and drinking.
