Patient's question:
After 37 days of high-risk exposure, I had nocturnal emission last night while taking a nap. This morning, I washed my underwear with laundry detergent and then dried them in the sun. My family helped me fold and put them away. Could I get an STD? Could nocturnal emission transmit an STD?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned. The probability of transmission of infectious diseases is very small. Bacteria and viruses exposed in the air for a period of time will be completely eliminated. Moreover, you have already implemented cleaning. And such transmission through contact is highly unlikely to transmit sexually transmitted diseases. Emission can be relieved. However, the general treatment process is slow. And it is easy to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to adopt good living habits and maintain a proper diet.
