Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

What you are experiencing is completely normal and not a sign of any disease or weakness.

Nightfall (nocturnal emission) commonly occurs when a person stops or reduces masturbation or sexual activity, because semen continues to be produced by the body and needs a natural outlet.

After quitting masturbation for two months, it is quite common for the body to release semen during sleep, sometimes even on consecutive nights.

Having nightfall once or twice in a short period does not mean anything is wrong, and it does not cause loss of strength, hormones, or sexual ability.

As long as you have no symptoms like pain, burning during urination, blood in semen, fever, or weakness, this is considered a normal physiological process.

Try to maintain good sleep, reduce stress, avoid excessive sexual thoughts before bedtime, and continue a healthy lifestyle. There is no need for treatment or medication for this.

If nightfall becomes very frequent (for example, multiple times every week for many months) or is associated with other symptoms, then a doctor consultation would be advised, but in your case, this is normal and reassuring.

I hope this helps you.
