Causes of Nocturnal Emission

Nocturnal emission is a natural phenomenon in males where ejaculation occurs during sleep, typically without sexual stimulation or accompanying dreams, and is more common among adolescents and young adult males. The following are several primary causes of nocturnal emissions: 1. Physiological regulation: Nocturnal emission is a natural way for the body to renew sperm. When semen accumulates to a certain extent, the body expels it through nocturnal emission to maintain normal function of the seminal vesicles. 2. Hormonal influence: Increased testosterone levels in the male body can promote libido and trigger nocturnal emissions. 3. Prolonged abstinence: Long-term absence of sexual activity or masturbation may lead to semen accumulation, which can subsequently cause nocturnal emissions. 4. Sleep status: During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the brain is highly active, which may be associated with nocturnal emissions. Note that if nocturnal emissions occur frequently, interfere with daily life or sleep quality, or are accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or urinary problems, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
