Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, there was sexual intercourse. On the third day, there were two episodes of nocturnal emission throughout the night. There was no physical discomfort, but afterwards, I felt agitated. What could be the reasons for this and how can it be prevented from happening again?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation is a sign and phenomenon of sexual physiological maturity in young men. When semen is full, it naturally overflows. Generally, married young men have one to two times a month, once a week, or occasionally two to three times a week, which is normal. However, having three to four times a week for a long time is not normal. Frequent nocturnal emissions are mainly caused by physical or psychological factors. Physically, issues like excessive foreskin, prostatitis, or urethritis can lead to frequent nocturnal emissions. For example, prolonged excessive sexual fantasy can cause the sexual center in the brain's central nervous system to become overly tense due to long-term overstimulation. This gradually exhausts the control system, making it weaker, so young people often experience involuntary emissions at the slightest sexual desire or impulse.
