Patient's question:
Is it normal for a man in his forties to experience nocturnal emissions? He is widowed and hasn't found a new partner yet, and he occasionally has sexual activity. Is this situation normal?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation is a normal physiological phenomenon. Especially if there has been no sexual activity for a long time, the so-called "overflow of semen" follows this principle. Ejaculation to some extent relieves sexual pressure, so there is no need to worry excessively. If this situation occurs too frequently, for example, happening every day or many times within a short period, it is usually caused by a disease, such as prostatitis, and therefore requires active treatment of the inflammation.
