Patient's question:
Over ten years ago, after falling asleep at night, I experienced severe penile erection and sometimes nocturnal emissions. I did not seek any treatment.Doctor's answer:
Clinically, it can be divided into physiological nocturnal emissions and pathological nocturnal emissions. Those with dreams during emission are called "dreamed emissions," which are caused by subconscious sexual desires; those without dreams, or even with semen spontaneously flowing out while awake, are called "slippery emissions," which are often due to kidney deficiency, uncontrolled essence gate, or unbalanced heart-kidney relationship, or downward flow of damp-heat. They can be seen in conditions such as phimosis, excessive prepuce, urethritis, and prostate diseases. Those with full essence and emissions are called "overflow emissions," which are caused by vigorous sexual function.
