Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing nocturnal emissions since I was 16, and now at 18, it happens almost twice a week. It has recently become a bit more severe. I often wake up in the morning with wet pants and clothes. Is this frequency too high and harmful to my health?Doctor's answer:
For men in their prime of life, experiencing 1 to 2 instances of nocturnal emissions each month is a normal phenomenon. Excessive frequency of nocturnal emissions is an abnormal manifestation. Too frequent nocturnal emissions can affect a man's normal reproductive function and overall health, potentially leading to symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, and soreness in the lower back and knees. In daily life, it is advisable to wear loose and comfortable underwear, avoid using excessively thick bedding when resting, rest in a side-lying position, avoid hot baths, and steer clear of saunas.
