What causes frequent nocturnal emissions? What is the cause?

Men would feel somewhat embarrassed if they woke up in the morning and found their underwear was wet. In medicine, this phenomenon of ejaculation without sexual intercourse is called nocturnal emission. So what is the reason for frequent nocturnal emission? What is the cause?

1-2 nocturnal emissions per month is normal

Spermatorrhea is a sign that the male reproductive glands are beginning to mature, usually starting at the age of 13-15. As the reproductive organs mature, the testicles produce sperm every moment, and the seminal vesicles and prostate gland also continuously secrete seminal plasma. When semen continues to accumulate in the body and reaches a saturation state, it will be discharged from the body. The so-called "semen overflows" is this principle.

Nocturnal emission is generally divided into two categories. Nocturnal emission during sleep is called nocturnal emission, and nocturnal emission when awake or without dreams is called spermatorrhea. Nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea are both nocturnal emission. According to statistics, 80% of men will have nocturnal emissions, while the remaining 20% ​​will not. Therefore, the presence or absence of nocturnal emission cannot be used to judge a person's fertility.

Generally speaking, unmarried adult males have nocturnal emissions 1-2 times a month, sometimes a few more times, which are all normal physiological phenomena. If it happens too often, once every few days or more than four or five times a month, it is pathological.

Causes of spermatorrhea

Poor physical condition and excessive fatigue can cause organ dysfunction, increased excitability of the erection center and ejaculation center, causing nocturnal emission. Inflammatory stimulation of the reproductive tract such as balanitis, urethritis, prostatitis, etc. can also easily trigger male nocturnal emission.

In addition, a quilt that is too thick or underwear that is too tight will increase the stimulation to the penis, leading to nocturnal emission; frequent hot baths will put the testicles in a high temperature environment, which can easily lead to nocturnal emission; in addition, foot massage for too long and too frequently will cause continuous excitement of the cerebral cortex, making a series of related nerves overactive and causing nocturnal emission.

Frequent nocturnal emission can cause people to become listless, dizzy, weak, sore in the waist and knees, and have a yellow complexion, affecting their physical and mental health. If nocturnal emission is caused by illness, go to the hospital for treatment in time.
