Patient's question:
I am 20 years old, and I have had two episodes of nocturnal emissions this week. I feel a bit upset. I want to complain a bit that recently I have been experiencing nocturnal emissions every three days. Is this a disease?Doctor's answer:
If there is no sexual activity. Especially for people under 30 without a girlfriend. Having two wet dreams a week (excluding any other form of ejaculation) is normal. Even occasionally three times is acceptable. However, if there are more than three wet dreams a week. It may indicate a real health issue. If wet dreams occur frequently over a long period. Or multiple times throughout the night. It could be pathological. Avoid tight pants. Excessive warmth or weight of bedding during deep sleep. Playing with the genitalia before bed. Eating spicy foods or drinking hard liquor regularly. Can easily lead to penile erection. And maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life. Avoid sitting for too long.
