Night sweats and nocturnal emissions are generally caused by kidney deficiency, insufficient kidney qi, or impaired kidney function. In young people, these symptoms may result from prolonged masturbation, staying up late, excessive fatigue, and similar factors. Therefore, for young individuals, engaging in appropriate physical exercise can help improve overall health, alleviate symptoms of nocturnal emissions and night sweats, and address conditions such as kidney deficiency and weakness.
