Hello doctor,

I am a 19-year-old teenage boy experiencing issue of nightfall from past eight to nine months. I do not even do masturbation. I am also not gaining weight. Is that because of this nightfall problem? Kindly suggest me medication to stop nightfall.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Wet dreams, also known as nocturnal emissions, are completely normal. They can occur due to increased erotic stimulation, whether it is mental, physical, or visual, without the need for sexual activity or masturbation. At your age, you will experience robust testosterone production, with approximately 20,000 sperm being produced every minute. This leads to a significant amount of semen production, which needs an outlet through either masturbation or sexual activity. If not, it can occur naturally when you are deeply relaxed during sleep. Understanding the cause makes treatment straightforward. To reduce the frequency of wet dreams, I suggest you follow the below mentioned instructions:

  1. Avoid consuming caffeinated beverages and foods in the late afternoon or before bedtime, as caffeine can stimulate the brain and lead to erotic dreams.
  2. Take a cold shower before bedtime to decrease sensitivity in the genital area.
  3. Keep your stress levels in check, as stress can trigger a variety of issues, including wet dreams. Prioritizing stress reduction is essential for a peaceful night's sleep.
  4. Avoid sleeping on your back or stomach, as these positions are known to increase the likelihood of sleep orgasms. Sleeping on your side is a better option.
  5. Engage in regular exercise to relax your body and mind. Excessive tension, anxiety, and physical fatigue can increase the chances of experiencing wet dreams.
  6. Refrain from watching or reading erotic content at night, as it can stimulate both your body and mind, leading to wet dreams during sleep.
  7. As a temporary solution, I suggest you take a tablet of Paroxetine 10 mg once a night for 15 days.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
