Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been having nightfall very often in the past month, like once a week, is that good or bad?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Nightfall or nocturnal emission is normal. It can be due to increased erotic stimuli mentally, physically, or visually without sex or masturbation.
At this age you will be having good testosterone production, there will be 20,000 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 it is easy. Reduce the frequent erotic stimuli or masturbate and have sex.
Ways to reduce the frequent erotic stimuli are:
Limit the intake of caffeinated beverages and foods after late afternoon. Consuming caffeine before bedtime can stimulate the brain and cause erotic dreams.
Take a cold shower before bedtime. This decreases the excessive sensitivity in the genital region.
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.
Avoid sleeping on your back or stomach. These positions are known to cause sleep orgasms. Better sleep on your side.
Exercise regularly and keep your body and mind relaxed. Excessive tension or anxiety and body tiredness together elevate your chances of sleep orgasms.
Avoid watching and reading erotic content at night. These stimulate both your body and mind, resulting in wet dreams while asleep.
I hope this has helped you.
Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.
Thank you.
