Patient's question:
My son is only 15 years old now, and he has been experiencing repeated nocturnal emissions. I worry that it might affect his height during puberty. What should be noted in the diet for boys with nocturnal emissions?Doctor's answer:
Recurring nocturnal emissions in boys is actually a normal phenomenon, mainly as long as the frequency is not excessively high, it is acceptable. If a child experiences one or two episodes of nocturnal emissions each month, or two or three times, this is also considered a normal occurrence. However, if the frequency of nocturnal emissions is particularly high, the body requires various nutrients, and a balanced diet is necessary. In this case, dietary measures to support kidney health should be taken, and it is also recommended to take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination. Additionally, oral traditional Chinese medicine can be used.
