Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 20-year-old male. I am experiencing nightfall that is happening many times a week, due to which I have lost a lot of weight. Also, I have a back problem and digestion issues. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Wet dreams or nightfall is called nocturnal emission and is normal. It can occur due to an increased erotic stimulus mentally, physically, or visually without sex or masturbation. At your age, you will have good testosterone production. There will be 20000 sperms produced every minute, which is a lot of semen production. Therefore, you need to let it out through masturbation or sex; otherwise, it will come out on its own when you are very much relaxed, mostly during sleep. The ways to reduce the frequent erotic stimulus 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, checking your stress levels is necessary. Avoid sleeping on your back or stomach. These positions are known to cause sleep orgasms. Instead, it is better to sleep on your side. Exercise regularly and keep your body and mind relaxed. Excessive tension or anxiety and body tiredness elevate your chances of sleep orgasms. Avoid watching and reading erotic content at night. These stimulate your body and mind and result in wet dreams while asleep. For a temporary solution, you can use tablet Pari 10mg (Clonazepam and Paroxetine) once at night for 15 days. I hope this helps. Thank you.
