Patient's question:
Recently, due to being busy at work, I have been staying up late, and my body is feeling a bit overwhelmed. It's very painful, and then one night, I suddenly experienced nocturnal emission while sleeping. I'm very worried and don't know if I can continue staying up late. So, I came here to ask a doctor what I should do, and also to understand what causes nocturnal emissions when staying up late?Doctor's answer:
Hello. The recurrence of nocturnal emissions is related to the excretion of sexual hormones in the body. Additionally, it may be due to overexertion, lack of sleep from staying up late, and endocrine disorders. If no other functional disorders reappear, there is no need to worry. It is important to adjust your mindset, ensure sufficient and quality deep sleep, and consume more soy products while reducing the intake of spicy, fried, pickled foods, and fresh ingredients.For patients with nocturnal emissions, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
