Patient's question:
I have always experienced nocturnal emissions, especially in the past month when I have had two or three episodes. I'm a bit concerned. So, do boys have nocturnal emissions every month?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation during sleep is quite common in our daily lives and is a very normal phenomenon. When a man's semen accumulates to a certain extent in the body, under the regulation of psychological and neurological factors, ejaculation occurs due to the secretion of semen by the gonads, which fills the seminal vesicles. During nighttime erections, the seminal vesicles stimulate the prostate and bulbocavernosus muscle, triggering the process of reflex ejaculation. In normal individuals, experiencing nocturnal emission once every few days or once every 1-2 months is considered normal. However, if ejaculation occurs very frequently, it is recommended to seek medical attention.
