Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent nocturnal emissions recently, but I don't know why. So, I want to ask why I keep having nocturnal emissions while sleeping? Why do I have them when I'm tired?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation is a normal physiological phenomenon of male sexual development. Statistics show that boys can experience their first ejaculation between the ages of 11 and 18, with the average age being 13 to 15. Why does ejaculation occur? This is because male semen originates from the testicles. As the body undergoes continuous development during puberty, the reproductive organs gradually mature, and the testicles produce more sperm. Through constant accumulation, when the sperm reaches saturation, it is expelled from the body through ejaculation. This is what is commonly referred to as "sperm fullness leads to spontaneous discharge," which often happens during sleep. Therefore, it is essential to understand the phenomenon of ejaculation correctly.
