Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Please ask if a little semen leaks out when I am intimate with my girlfriend. Is this considered nocturnal emission?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon where a mature male experiences nocturnal emission during sleep or spontaneous ejaculation of semen during waking hours without sexual activity, masturbation, or exposure to stimulating content is known as nocturnal emission and slippery emission. If it occurs 1-3 times a month, it is considered a normal phenomenon, often referred to as "semen overflowing naturally when full." However, if nocturnal emission occurs frequently, it may be caused by urinary tract infections, prostatitis, excessive fatigue with masturbation, or holding urine for too long. In such cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention from the urology department for examination and treatment.
