Patient's question:
Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. Is nocturnal emission normal if it's conscious?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation with awareness is normal. Nocturnal emission refers to ejaculation during deep sleep, where it occurs with a dream, and the person becomes aware afterward that it was caused by a sexual dream. It can also be a result of overly warm bedding, tight underwear, stimulation of the penis by clothing or bedding, or pressure on the penis. If ejaculation occurs too frequently—several times a week or multiple times during a single night, even during waking hours—it's important to find the cause. You should seek medical attention as soon as possible for a checkup.
