Is it normal for a 20-year-old to have nocturnal emissions?

Patient's question:

I am 20 years old and have a girlfriend. I have not experienced nocturnal emissions again before, is it normal for a 20-year-old to have nocturnal emissions?

Doctor's answer:

Ejaculation is a normal physiological phenomenon. Generally, after the age of 11 or 12, most males begin to experience nocturnal emissions again, occurring two or three times a month, which is within the normal range. If this phenomenon suddenly reappears in recent times or occurs more frequently, it is mainly due to conditions such as prostatitis, and active treatment for prostatitis and other related diseases is necessary.
