Patient's question:
Last night I had a spring dream. This morning I noticed a little wetness in my underwear, but there was no semen, only prostatic fluid, and I felt a bit tired. Is this considered nocturnal emission?Doctor's answer:
Not ejaculation, it's not nocturnal emission. The fluid discharged from the urethral orifice is mucus from the periurethral glands, seminal vesicles, and prostate. It doesn't interfere with health, and nocturnal emission also doesn't affect health. Feeling exhausted is likely due to poor quality deep sleep at night. Rest and relax to improve it. For those with nocturnal emission, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment based on their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
