Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 19-year-old male. I have fluid discharge from my penis every night. What could be the reason?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Nightfall or wet dreams are a very common occurrence among men, especially among adolescents. This condition is characterized by involuntary ejaculation during sleep at night or in the early hours of the morning. The problem of nightfall can be very frustrating for young men because most of the time they do not understand the reason for it and also because it is a very embarrassing thing to discuss with not only their parents but also their peers. The frequency of these nocturnal emissions varies from person to person, most men only experience this condition in their adolescent years but few may suffer from it all their lives. So as you can see this condition is very common and nothing really to worry about except in very few cases where it is very frequently spread over a long period of time.

Studies have shown that using testosterone-based drugs can increase nocturnal emissions, so try avoiding these if you suffer from nightfall. Here are a few more things that you can try to limit it.

  1. Should start jogging or brisk walking for at least 30 minutes every day.
  2. Should avoid consumption of any liquid for at least 2 hours before going to sleep.
  3. Should go for urination just before going to bed.
  4. Should avoid watching porn or erotic chats etc.
  5. Start listening to soothing music which gives peace of mind and gives soothing effects like meditation gives.
  6. Should start reading good books at the time to keep the brain relaxed for a sound sleep.
  7. If nightfall happens then they should not worry about this, because if you keep on thinking about nightfall or have the fear of nightfall at the time of sleeping then there are more chances to have it reoccur.
  8. Should avoid constipation because an upset digestive system also sometimes causes this condition.
  9. If the person is having the habit of drinking milk at night then they should drink milk in the evening instead of at night.
  10. Kegel exercise also helps control nightfall.
  11. Do yoga and meditation.

Remember to talk to your doctor or a specialist before you start or stop your medications and never self-medicate.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
