Patient's question:
Had sex for several years, which has led to frequent nocturnal emissions in recent years, with one occurring every two or three days. Occasionally feeling tired and lacking energy. What are the differences between spermatorrhea and nocturnal emissions?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation during sleep and involuntary ejaculation are abnormal phenomena of male semen leakage. In fact, there are some obvious differences between them, and it is necessary to distinguish them in order to effectively prevent and treat them.Ejaculation during sleep
Ejaculation during sleep is a physiological phenomenon common in adolescent males, referring to the spontaneous leakage of semen without sexual intercourse. When it occurs during dreams, it is called "nocturnal emission." Especially when men enter middle age, it rarely happens again.
Involuntary ejaculation
Involuntary ejaculation is a type of ejaculation during sleep, where semen leaks without dreams, or even when awake. Ejaculation during sleep and involuntary ejaculation both refer to semen leakage during non-sexual activity, while premature ejaculation occurs during sexual intercourse.
