Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been experiencing the issue of night discharge for the past four years. Despite using medication, my problem persists, and I find myself growing weaker over time. I diligently engage in daily exercise and have tried various approaches to address this concern, but my condition remains unchanged. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern regarding nocturnal emissions, commonly known as wet dreams. This is a normal physiological occurrence.

Nocturnal emissions can be triggered by increased erotic stimuli, whether mental, physical, or visual, without engaging in sexual activity or masturbation. At your age, your body is naturally producing a significant amount of semen, and if it is not released through sexual activity or masturbation, it can occur during relaxation, such as during sleep.

Addressing the issue is relatively straightforward once you identify the cause. I would suggest you follow some practical steps to help reduce the frequency of nocturnal emissions:

  1. Limit the consumption of caffeinated beverages and foods in the late afternoon and evening, as caffeine can stimulate the brain and contribute to erotic dreams.
  2. Taking a cold shower before bedtime can reduce genital sensitivity and potentially lessen the likelihood of nocturnal emissions.
  3. Manage and reduce stress levels, as stress can trigger various bodily responses, including nocturnal emissions. Stress management techniques can promote better sleep.
  4. Avoid sleeping on your back or stomach, as these positions can increase the likelihood of sleep orgasms. Sleeping on your side may be more beneficial.
  5. Regular exercise and relaxation techniques can help keep your body and mind in a relaxed state, reducing the chances of nocturnal emissions.
  6. Avoid watching or reading erotic content before bedtime, as it can stimulate both your body and mind, potentially leading to wet dreams while asleep.

For a temporary solution, I suggest you consider using Tab Pari (Paroxetine) 10 mg once a night for 15 days. Consult your doctor, talk to them, and then take the medications as per their advice.

Thank you.
