Patient's question:
Is it normal to have nocturnal emissions once a week? What are the causes of nocturnal emissions?Doctor's answer:
A. Psychological factors: Due to excessively strong sexual demands that cannot be restrained, especially when thinking about sex before sleep, it can cause sexual excitement. Prolonged stimulation of the central nervous system involved in sexual activity can lead to nocturnal emissions (e.g., frequent masturbation, regularly reading books or pictures, leading to impulses causing emissions).B. Weak constitution, with insufficient function of various organs, such as incomplete function of the cerebral cortex, which loses control over lower sexual centers. This can result in heightened excitement of the erection and ejaculation centers, also causing emissions.
C. Local lesions: Lesions in the sexual organs or the urinary system, such as phimosis, excessive foreskin, urethritis, prostatitis, etc., can stimulate the sexual organs and lead to emissions.
