Patient's question:
Is nocturnal emission normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your situation is normal. Emission is due to the fullness of semen. After boys enter puberty, emissions can occur between the ages of 12 to 14. Emissions have no regular pattern. Generally, it can range from 1 to 5 times a month to once every one or two months, and both are normal.Regarding when emissions will stop, after puberty development ends and a fixed sexual partner is established with normal sexual activity, emissions will rarely occur (only occasionally).
As for how to reduce the frequency of emissions: Additionally, exercise more, avoid looking at or thinking about unhealthy content (books, images, videos, websites, etc.), and pay attention to hygiene. It's best to clean the genital area daily, wear loose underwear, avoid heavy blankets at night, keep the bedding temperature moderate, and avoid sleeping on your back or stomach.
However, this can only reduce the likelihood of emissions but cannot prevent normal emissions, as the fullness of semen is a normal physiological phenomenon.
