[1 4 1 . What is pathological nocturnal emission?]

Nocturnal emission can essentially be considered a physiological phenomenon. Because

Approximately 90% of normal adult men have experienced nocturnal emission.

It is further divided into nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea. This occurs 1-2 years after puberty.

This can occur in old age. Nocturnal emission, also known as dream emission, is a condition that can occur at any age.

Nocturnal emission or seminal emission in dreams is sometimes referred to as "running a horse" (a euphemism for seminal emission). This occurs while the person is conscious.

Spontaneous ejaculation without masturbation or sexual intercourse stimulation

It is called "spermatorrhea". Fundamentally, there is not much difference between the two.

Unmarried men experiencing nocturnal emissions 1-2 times per month or slightly more

These are all normal physiological phenomena, known as physiological nocturnal emission. However, excessive...

Frequent nocturnal emission is a pathological condition, especially in married men with normal sexual activity.

Nocturnal emission more than 5 times a month is considered abnormal and is called pathological nocturnal emission.

[142. What are the differences between physiological and pathological nocturnal emission?]

The difference between physiological and pathological nocturnal emission lies in:

(1) Age difference: Physiological nocturnal emission is more common in young adults.

In the middle-aged and elderly, or those who are unmarried or separated from their spouses, pathological nocturnal emission is more common in those with congenital deficiencies.

(2) Different physical conditions: those with physiological nocturnal emission often have different physical conditions.

Seen in those who are physically healthy, energetic, or easily agitated, or

Healthy individuals experiencing fatigue and stress; those with pathological nocturnal emission, often with facial...

Dull complexion, fatigued body, excessive smoking, excessive drinking, and other vices.

People who eat rich and fatty foods, are overweight or weak, often have a habit of masturbation, excessive sexual activity, or unfulfilled sexual desires.

(3) The state of nocturnal emission is different: physiological nocturnal emission, generally occurs once every 2 weeks.

Frequent or longer periods of nocturnal emission with large volume and viscous semen

Thick, with normal penile erectile function during nocturnal emission; pathological nocturnal emission is frequent.

Frequent ejaculation, some men experience nocturnal emission at night, or ejaculate spontaneously while awake.

The amount of semen is small and thin, and the penis does not maintain a firm erection during ejaculation.

Or, one may be unable to achieve an erection at all, and experience fatigue, lower back pain, and knee pain after ejaculation.

Symptoms include soreness, tinnitus, dizziness, and general weakness.

143. Is urethral discharge a form of nocturnal emission?

When men are sexually aroused, whether intentionally or not

Vision, sight, hearing, or local contact can all help detect the presence of the urethral opening.

A small amount of clear discharge is what is commonly known as "flushing".

The "white" phenomenon is not nocturnal emission. It is caused by the bulbourethral glands and urethra.

A fluid secreted by the paradoxical glands, mainly composed of fluids from the glands located in the vagina.

Secretions from the paraurethral glands within the penis. Due to the corpora cavernosa of the penis.

Congestion and penile erection compress the paraurethral glands, prompting them to secrete no...

There is sperm-containing discharge. This is a completely normal physiological response.

The lubricant is used to lubricate the glans penis, which helps with sexual activity. Therefore, it should not be mistaken for a pathological condition.

Another common type of white discharge phenomenon occurs when...

During bowel movements, especially when the stool is dry and straining is more likely to cause discomfort.

It was quite obvious that a few drops of milky white liquid could be seen flowing from the urethral opening.

The shiny mucus is often mistaken for semen leakage during bowel movements. Actually, this is also...

Secretions from the bulbourethral glands and the prostate gland. Because these two glands...

The perineum, located at the bottom of the pelvic cavity, is close to the rectum and anus. It is used for drainage...

When straining, the muscles contract strongly, forcing these glands to expel fluid.

Secretions. Normally, straining during bowel movements is not excessive.

This situation would not occur if the sample size is normal, so this white discharge is not an abnormal phenomenon.

There are also abnormal white discharge phenomena, which occur in patients with prostatitis.

In cases of prostatitis, the inflammation causes abnormal prostate fluid secretion.

When there is local irritation, dribbling may occur during defecation and after urination.

White discharge. This discharge may be substantial and quite cloudy.

It's cloudy and occurs more frequently, unlike normal white discharge. If this is present...

If you experience any white discharge, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

144. What factors might lead to nocturnal emission?

Nocturnal emission is often related to the following factors:

(1) Lack of proper sex education and excessive focus on sex

Keeping the brain in a state of sexual arousal when it comes to sex can easily induce nocturnal emission.

(2) Subjected to pornographic books and other pornographic products

Negative stimuli and prolonged exposure to erotic impulses can easily induce nocturnal emission.

(3) He had a history of frequent masturbation.

(4) There is a disease in the external genitalia or lower urethra, such as

Phimosis, redundant foreskin, urethritis, prostatitis, etc.

(5) Physical weakness is often accompanied by loss of consciousness.

Symptoms include insomnia, vivid dreams, dizziness, tinnitus, lethargy, lower back pain, and general weakness.
