Patient's question:
Hello, how often is it normal to have nocturnal emissions without sexual activity or intercourse? It's been 28 days since my last nocturnal emission. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation during sleep, also known as nocturnal emission, refers to the spontaneous discharge of semen without sexual intercourse. In your case, it can also be considered normal, as the frequency of nocturnal emissions varies from person to person. Most people experience it once to three times a month, or about every 20 days, which is all within the normal range. If you experience frequent emissions, such as many times a day or two or more times a week, even if it is considered frequent nocturnal emissions, you should seek medical attention promptly and undergo thorough examinations.I suggest you don’t worry too much or fear it. Try to avoid developing sexual habits, as frequent sexual activity may lead to symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, forgetfulness, palpitations, neurasthenia, lower back and knee weakness, fatigue, or discomfort during urination, as well as bloating and discomfort in the lower abdomen and genital area. In severe cases, it may even lead to impotence and premature ejaculation.
