Patient's question:
Is it normal or not? First follow-up question: It's not frequent anymore, and we don't live together either. My sex life started to have problems right from the beginning? Is it normal to be like this in the first few times?Second follow-up question: Is it normal or not? There don't seem to be any major issues, right?
Third follow-up question: My mind isn't always thinking about the same thing, and I don't even know why? Is there a problem?
Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation during sleep, also known as "night emission," refers to the condition where a person experiences ejaculation while dreaming during sleep, and becomes aware of it only after waking up. This can be a result of sexual dreams, or caused by factors such as overly warm bedding, tight underwear, stimulation of the penis by clothing, or pressure on the penis. In traditional Chinese medical literature, the classification of "ejaculation with dreams as 'night emission' and without dreams as 'ejaculation without dreams'" is the earliest method to distinguish between the two conditions.The sexual dreams before nocturnal emission may be vague, and some people may not be able to recall the main events of the dream after it occurs. On the other hand, the dreams may be very clear, with some people vividly remembering the events that took place in the dream when they wake up in the morning. The actual sexual dream is a subconscious response and is often linked to fantasies and experiences.
Nocturnal emission can be either due to deficiency or excess, with some cases starting with excess and later turning into deficiency. Over time, deficiency conditions are more common, or a combination of deficiency and excess may occur. Deficiency is further divided into yang deficiency and yin deficiency. The condition primarily affects the kidneys: yang deficiency leads to a weak control over ejaculation, often caused by congenital insufficiency, excessive masturbation, early marriage, or irregular sexual activity; while kidney yin deficiency results in excess fire, disturbing the "ejaculation chamber" and causing emission.
You may consider using traditional Chinese herbal medicines such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) and Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan (Golden Lock Firm Essence Pill) to regulate the condition, while also ensuring adequate rest. Consuming foods that support kidney health and firm ejaculation, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, soft-shell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys, can also be beneficial.
