Patient's question:
I have recently experienced nocturnal emissions again due to the tight academic schedule. I feel very upset because I'm still in puberty and worry about whether it will cause any interference in my future life. I'm also too afraid to go to the hospital for treatment. I just want to ask, what is the normal age for nocturnal emissions during puberty?Doctor's answer:
Boys may experience nocturnal emissions again after the age of twelve. The majority of boys experience this phenomenon again after the age of fourteen. Nocturnal emissions also indicate that the perinatal function has fully developed, so this is a normal physiological change. At your current age, experiencing nocturnal emissions is normal. It is likely related to recent academic stress and inadequate rest. If the emissions are not frequent, there is no need to seek medical attention.
