Patient's question:
My high school son is growing taller and developing faster. Recently, while washing his underwear, I noticed some sperm on them. We feel awkward talking about this with him and don't know how to prevent it. So, I'd like to consult a doctor on how to prevent nocturnal emissions during sleep.Doctor's answer:
My son, who is in high school, is growing taller and developing more rapidly. While washing his underwear, I noticed signs of nocturnal emission. The child has experienced this phenomenon again, but there is no need to worry—it is a normal physiological process, similar to menstruation in girls, and does not require medical treatment. This condition is not indicative of a disease, and there is no need to take precautions while sleeping, as it is a natural release of accumulated semen.For those experiencing nocturnal emission, timely treatment can help reduce its occurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
