Patient's question:
Because of my kidney deficiency, I have taken a lot of Yang-tonifying herbs, and now I have appeared in this state. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation during non-coital activity refers to the emission of semen without sexual intercourse. Ejaculation that occurs during deep sleep is known as nocturnal emission. Ejaculation that happens during a state of wakefulness is generally referred to as involuntary ejaculation. The primary cause of nocturnal emission is a weakening of the inhibitory process of the cerebral cortex, an increase in the excitability of the sexual center, and the occurrence of sexual stimulation. Additionally, inflammation in areas such as the foreskin, glans, urethra, prostate, and seminal vesicles can also lead to nocturnal emission. In severe cases, it may result in neurosis, mental fatigue, and even sexual dysfunction such as reduced libido, premature ejaculation, and impotence, which can lead to infertility.
