Does premature ejaculation also have a genetic component?

Patient's question:

The first time your son experienced nocturnal emission was several years ago. Since then, he has been experiencing it regularly, and the frequency has been quite high. Recently, he has been having nocturnal emissions every night. Your husband also experienced it when he was young. So, you may ask, how can nocturnal emissions also be passed down through generations?

Doctor's answer:

There is no clinical evidence to prove that there is a case of hereditary transmission across generations. After males enter puberty, the recurrence of nocturnal emissions is a normal phenomenon, indicating that male sexual function has matured. However, if the frequency of nocturnal emissions is too high, it should be taken seriously. It is recommended that he pay attention to physical exercise and maintain a sufficient amount of sleep time, avoiding excessive fatigue. Focus should be spread on practice, and excessive worry should be avoided.
