Patient's question:
Dreamed about nocturnal emission and woke up to find it painful to urinate. I was sleeping on my back with my head up, taking a nap, and suddenly had a nocturnal emission. When I woke up, I suddenly felt a sharp pain while urinating. At night, when I'm sleeping, I feel extremely tired. Could this be the cause?Doctor's answer:
During nocturnal emissions, a person may unconsciously touch the penis, stimulating the urethra and causing pain when urinating. This is not a problem and will improve over time. After entering puberty, nocturnal emissions may reappear, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Occasional nocturnal emissions do not interfere with health. For those experiencing nocturnal emissions, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of occurrences. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
