Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 21-year-old male. I want to know what is the reason for having nightfall every day. I consulted a doctor earlier, but no improvement. He said that the reason is excess masturbation, due to which tissues are damaged. So, I stopped masturbating for two months and took medicine properly, but there was no improvement. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Wet dreams or nightfall, called nocturnal emission are normal. It can be due to increased erotic stimulus mentally, physically, or visually without sex or masturbation. At this age, you will have good testosterone production. There will be 20000 sperm produced every minute, and that is a lot of semen production. You need to let it out by masturbation or sex. If not, it will come out on its own when you are very much relaxed (sleep). Since you know the cause, treating is easy. Reduce the frequent erotic stimulus or masturbate or have sex. Ways to reduce the frequent erotic stimulus are:

1. Limit the intake of caffeinated beverages and foods after late afternoon. Consuming caffeine before bedtime can stimulate the brain and cause erotic dreams.

2. Take a cold shower before bedtime. This decreases the excessive sensitivity in the genital region.

3. Limit and control your stress levels. Stress can be a triggering factor to anything and everything. Hence, to obtain a peaceful night’s sleep, keeping a check on your stress levels is necessary.

4. Avoid sleeping on your back or stomach. These positions are known to cause sleep orgasms. Better sleep on your side.

5. Exercise regularly and keep your body and mind relaxed. Excessive tension or anxiety and body tiredness together elevate your chances of sleep orgasms.

6. Avoid watching and reading erotic content at night. These stimulate both your body and mind and result in wet dreams while you are asleep.

For a temporary solution, you can use tablet Paroxetine 10 mg once a night for 15 days.

I hope this helps.
