Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am around 20 years old and had a sperm leak while I was sleeping at night for two consecutive days, after which I had stomach upset for a week. Kindly help me find a solution for this.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Having wet dreams or nightfall, called nocturnal emission, is normal. It could be due to increased erotic stimulus mentally, physically, or visually even without sex or masturbation. At this age, you will have good testosterone production, and there will be around 20000 sperms produced every minute and which is a lot of semen that needs an outlet either by masturbation or sex; otherwise, it will come out on its own when you are very much relaxed (Sleep).

You must reduce the frequent erotic stimulus to masturbate or have sex. I would suggest some ways to reduce the periodic erotic stimulation; they are:

• Limit the intake of caffeinated beverages and foods in the evening. Consuming caffeine before bedtime can stimulate the brain and cause erotic dreams.

• Take a cold shower before bedtime decreasing excessive sensitivity in the genital region.

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

• 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, anxiety, and body tiredness can 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.

Also, I would suggest tablet Pari (Paroxetine) 10 mg once at night for 15 days for temporary relief.

Thank you.
