What Causes Nocturnal Emission?
Disease description:
This morning, upon waking up, I noticed some semen on my bedding—apparently, I experienced nocturnal emission last night. Lately, I’ve also been feeling unusually fatigued. I’d like to understand: Why does nocturnal emission occur, and what does it mean?
Hello, there are many possible causes of nocturnal emission (spermatorrhea), including exposure to sexually stimulating stimuli, using overly thick bedding leading to overheating, wearing excessively tight underwear or trousers, excessive sexual activity, frequent masturbation, physical stimulation of the genital area, and inflammation of the genitourinary system. All of these factors may contribute to nocturnal emission. Occasional nocturnal emission is harmless to the body, as sperm produced by the testes is stored in the seminal vesicles; if ejaculation does not occur for an extended period, accumulated semen may naturally overflow once the seminal vesicles become full. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
