Patient's question:
I usually experience nocturnal emissions 2-3 times a week, and it has been happening for about a month. I haven't done any thorough checks yet. What should I do about nocturnal emissions happening 2-3 times a week for about a month?Doctor's answer:
This phenomenon is abnormal and requires treatment. For healthy young and middle-aged adults who do not have normal sexual activity, experiencing a nocturnal emission approximately every two weeks should be considered normal. Do not over-tense. During nocturnal emission, do not hold back the semen midway or pinch the penis to prevent the semen from flowing out, as this may lead to retained semen in the testicles and cause other health issues. After nocturnal emission, avoid exposure to cold and do not use cold water for cleansing, as this may allow pathogenic cold to enter the body through vulnerabilities. Reduce intake of stimulants such as tobacco, alcohol, tea, coffee, onions, garlic, spicy foods, and other irritants. Avoid hot baths, and when sleeping, it is advisable to adopt a lateral position with knees bent. Bedding should not be excessively thick, and underwear should not be too tight.
