Patient's question:
Doctor, a few days ago, when I woke up from sleep, I found a stain of secretion on the bed sheet. I smelled it, and it seemed to be the smell of sperm. After searching online, I learned it was nocturnal emission. Is this a serious illness? I don't take good care of myself, is this a big deal? It's the first time this has happened, and I feel like I suddenly feel very tired. What kind of help do I need: What is nocturnal emission?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation during sleep is a type of nocturnal emission, which refers to ejaculation without sexual intercourse or masturbation. Ejaculation during sleep while dreaming is called nocturnal emission with dreams, while ejaculation without dreaming is called nocturnal emission without dreams. Ejaculation during wakefulness is called involuntary ejaculation. Nocturnal emission with dreams refers to the condition of ejaculation during sleep with dreams, which is only known after waking up.
