Patient's question:
I'm in my senior year of high school this year. Since the second year of high school, I've been experiencing nocturnal emissions, and it started happening every week. Yesterday, I had one emission, and today, I had another without dreaming. I want to ask how to get rid of it permanently. Although it's a normal phenomenon, I can't imagine washing my underwear every night when I go to university. Some of my peers have already stopped experiencing nocturnal emissions. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if the number of nocturnal emissions in a month does not exceed 5 times, there is no need to worry excessively. Long-term sexual activity, mental stress, prostatitis, balanitis, urethritis, lack of proper sexual knowledge, and weak constitution can all lead to an increase in the frequency of nocturnal emissions. It is recommended to have sexual intercourse no more than once a week. Engage in regular beneficial physical activities, develop a good habit of deep sleep, and avoid drinking water before bed. Do not wear leather pants or underwear. Consider treatment based on the examination results. Also, be mindful of restricting sexual activity and maintaining a positive mood.
