Patient's question:
Don't know what nocturnal emission is? Is it normal? What's the difference between adults and minors?Doctor's answer:
The frequency and number of nocturnal emissions vary from person to person. Some may not have a second emission for a long time after their first one; others may have 1-2 emissions within a month or a week; sometimes, they may have consecutive emissions for several nights, followed by long intervals. All of these are normal. Only frequent emissions lasting for more than 1-2 weeks, or the spontaneous leakage of semen upon sexual arousal during the day, require a visit to a doctor.
