Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 20-year-old male. I am experiencing nightfall, which happens many times a week, and I have lost a lot of weight. Also, I have a back problem and digestion issues. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Wet dreams or nightfall are called nocturnal emission and are 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 sperm 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 relaxed, mostly during sleep.
The way to reduce the frequency of erotic stimuli is to 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 for 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 a tablet with Clonazepam and Paroxetine 10 mg once at night for 15 days.
I hope this helps.
Please revert to assist you further.
Thank you.
