How often is it normal to have nocturnal emission? Is once a week normal?
Nocturnal emission refers to ejaculation without sexual intercourse or masturbation. Nocturnal emission that occurs during dreaming after falling asleep is called dream emission; when it happens without dreaming, it is termed non-dream emission, and when it occurs while awake, it is known as spontaneous emission.
During the period of vigorous secretion of sex hormones in adolescence and when individuals pay excessive attention to sexual matters, it is easy to experience nocturnal emission.
After sexual maturation, occasional nocturnal emission may occur even without substantial sexual activities. As long as there are no other accompanying symptoms, no treatment is necessary. However, if nocturnal emissions occur too frequently, it may indicate a weak constitution or kidney deficiency.
For unmarried men, experiencing nocturnal emission is normal and it is considered part of the natural overflowing of semen, indicating normal sexual function. Having two to three emissions per month or one every three to five days is normal. Even having an emission every one or two days should not be considered abnormal.
If nocturnal emissions occur frequently over an extended period, happening daily, or even several times in one night, it may indicate a pathological condition. In such cases, it may be necessary to seek medical examination to identify the cause, which could be related to conditions like phimosis, excessive foreskin, urethritis, or prostate disorders.
3 habits that are likely to cause nocturnal emission:
1. Foot massage
Although foot massages can promote blood circulation, stimulate the meridians, and benefit the nervous system, prolonged and frequent foot massages can lead to overexcitement of the cerebral cortex, causing excessive activation of related nerves and resulting in nocturnal emission.
2. Heavy or thick blankets
Men often experience involuntary erections during sleep. If the blankets are too heavy or thick at night, it can intensify stimulation on the penis, leading to nocturnal emission. Similarly, wearing overly tight underwear can also contribute to nocturnal emissions.
3. Hot baths
Frequently taking hot baths can create a high-temperature environment around the testicles. Over time, this can lead to nocturnal emissions.
Reminder: If a man has nocturnal emissions exceeding this frequency, it is considered frequent. How can this be improved?
If nocturnal emissions occur more than twice a week, it is generally regarded as frequent. This is usually related to conditions like kidney deficiency and is mainly a symptom caused by yang deficiency in the kidneys, often requiring the use of some yang-warming kidney tonic drugs for regulation.
Normal nocturnal emissions usually occur once or twice a month. Frequent nocturnal emissions can have certain harmful effects on the body, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness in the lower back and knees, or decreased libido. Therefore, medication is usually required for regulation.
When taking medication, one can consider using some yang-warming kidney tonic Chinese medicines like Wenshen Sulafupian for regulation. During medication, spicy and stimulating foods should be avoided, and a moderate intake of yang-nourishing foods is recommended. Individuals with excessive internal heat or vigorous fire due to yin deficiency should be cautious, and it is advisable to take the medicine with diluted saltwater.
For more information on medication, consult a physician or pharmacist and follow their guidance for proper medication use.
