Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 19-year-old male. I have fluid discharge from my penis every night. What could be the reason?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. Nightfall or wet dreams are a very common occurrence among men, especially among adolescents. This condition is characterized by involuntary ejaculation during sleep at night or in the early hours of the morning. The problem of nightfall can be very frustrating for young men because most of the time they do not understand the reason for it and also because it is a very embarrassing thing to discuss with not only their parents but also their peers. The frequency of these nocturnal emissions varies from person to person, most men only experience this condition in their adolescent years but few may suffer from it all their lives. So as you can see this condition is very common and nothing really to worry about except in very few cases where it is very frequently spread over a long period of time.
Studies have shown that using testosterone-based drugs can increase nocturnal emissions, so try avoiding these if you suffer from nightfall. Here are a few more things that you can try to limit it.
Remember to talk to your doctor or a specialist before you start or stop your medications and never self-medicate.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
