 Nocturnal
Emissions occurs when whitish fluid called semen is released through the penis
while a boy or a man is sleeping. Nocturnal emissions are most common during
teenage and early adult years
It is associated with the fact that, males typically get an erection often
during sleep and the semen released owing to the direct result of the
stimulation caused by either erotic dreams, or memories of waking sexual
activities but many men claim to have had nocturnal emissions without
accompanying erotic dreams and another common theory is that wet dreams are the
way the body disposes of "built-up" semen,
How common is nocturnal emission?
The frequency of nocturnal emissions is highly variable. Some men have
experienced large numbers of nocturnal emissions as teenagers, while some men
have never experienced one in their lives
Usual rate of nocturnal emissions are once during a period of 15-30 days are
considered physiological (normal) while that occurring twice a week or more and
associated with symptoms such as dizziness, weakness and insomnia etc., are
considered pathologic (abnormal)
PHYSICAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCES OF EXCESSIVE NOCTURNAL
EMISSION:
-
Hormonal disorders
(lower
testosterone or androgen)
-
Abnormal sperm
production or function
(Most cases of male infertility are due to sperm abnormalities)
-
Impaired shape and
movement of sperm
(structure (morphology) of the sperm are abnormal or the movement (motility) is
impaired)
-
Low sperm concentration
(A normal sperm
concentration is greater than or equal to 20 million sperm per milliliter of
semen)
-
No semen
(The absence of ejaculate
may occur in men)
-
Sexual issues
(Difficulties with
erection of the penis (erectile dysfunction), premature ejaculation)
-
Constipation
-
Being underweight
-
Diminished confidence
and self-esteem
-
Guilt
-
Emotional upsets
Should
nocturnal emission be treated?
-
Excessive nocturnal
emission needs immediate medical assistance because it may lead to Hormonal
disorders and decreased testosterone level can be the cause for inability to
achieve an erection.
-
Another major cause
which of course tends to lead to “low sperm concentration” and a low sperm count
is one cause of male infertility.
When
to seek medical advice?
Talk with our doctor if nocturnal emissions occurring twice a week or more.
