Patient's question:
I have been experiencing nocturnal emissions every night for a week. How often is it normal to have nocturnal emissions?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation during sleep, also known as nocturnal emission, refers to the unconscious occurrence of ejaculation without sexual activity or intercourse. It can begin during puberty, with a normal frequency of about 1-2 times per week. If it happens daily, it is not normal and may be due to certain physical conditions such as prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis, or it could be a result of kidney deficiency that fails to solidify essence. It is recommended to seek medical attention for further examination and timely symptomatic treatment based on the examination results.
