Patient's question:
I have been experiencing nocturnal emissions for almost a year now. Every time, I discover pre-ejaculate fluid in my underwear after a full night's sleep. I'm worried it might not be good for my health. So, why do teenagers experience nocturnal emissions?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation is a normal phenomenon. Generally, around the age of 15, sperm production begins. The sperm produced by the testicles enter the epididymis and vas deferens for storage. Sperm production by the testicles is a continuous and repeated process, and the stored sperm gradually increases. When sperm supply exceeds demand, ejaculation occurs during sexual arousal.
