What does nocturnal emission mean?
I noticed that when I wake up in the morning, there is sometimes some semen on my pants. I don't know what causes this. The doctor said it is nocturnal emission. I would like to know, what does nocturnal emission mean?

Nocturnal emission refers to the phenomenon of ejaculation occurring in males in an unconscious state, usually during sleep, and is therefore also known as "dream emission." It is a normal physiological phenomenon, especially common among adolescent and adult males, particularly when sexual desire is unfulfilled or there is sexual stimulation in dreams.
Nocturnal emission is a natural way for the body to release sperm, and serves as a normal means of semen discharge for males who do not have regular sexual activity. It does not indicate any health problems nor does it affect fertility.
If nocturnal emissions occur too frequently and cause distress, or are accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or urethral discomfort, medical consultation is recommended to identify the cause. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular作息and moderate exercise, can help maintain overall health, including sexual health.
