Is it normal for a 17-year-old boy to rarely experience morning erections and nocturnal emissions?

Patient's question:

I live in a dormitory, so I often chat with my roommates about topics related to male physiology before going to bed. During our conversations, I learned that they both experience morning erections and nocturnal emissions again, but I rarely do. I want to ask if it's normal for a 17-year-old boy to have infrequent morning erections and nocturnal emissions?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation could be due to a weak constitution or kidney deficiency. If morning erections occasionally occur again, it is generally not a major issue. Your body is currently in a period of growth and development, so it is important to pay attention to ensuring sufficient deep sleep and to moderately increase exercise. Eating more foods that support kidney health and provide nutrients can still be beneficial for your body's growth and development.
