Is sperm leakage during sleep a disease?

When men just start to enter puberty, their sexual organs develop rapidly. It is also during this period that many men will have spermatorrhea. However, for some men who have just entered puberty, they don’t know much about these physiological knowledge, so when they wake up and find that the quilt is wet, they will be particularly scared. So is sperm leakage during sleep a disease?

Spermia is the ejaculation of semen without sexual intercourse. It is common in adolescent males and is generally a normal physiological phenomenon. According to the time of occurrence of spermatorrhea, it is divided into nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea: nocturnal emission occurs when the spermatorrhea occurs during sleep and dreaming, while spermatorrhea occurs when the person is awake.

Spermatorrhea usually occurs after male sexual maturity. It is rare in males under 12 years old. The incidence rate is about 25% at 14 years old, about 55% at 16 years old, about 70% at 18 years old, and up to 80% at 20 years old. It is generally a normal physiological phenomenon. After entering puberty, the male internal reproductive organs gradually mature. The testicles continuously produce sperm, and the secretions of accessory glands such as the epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicles constitute seminal plasma. When sperm and seminal plasma are stored to a certain extent, they need to be excreted from the body.

Too little or too much ejaculation can cause trouble for young people. For healthy unmarried men, ejaculation 1-2 times a month is normal. Under normal circumstances, it is common for unmarried men to ejaculate 4-5 times a month. The frequency distribution can be uneven. Some people ejaculate once every 1-2 weeks in a period of time, but ejaculate several times in a row in another period of time. This is also normal. If ejaculation is too frequent, several times a week or several times a night, or even when awake, you need to find the cause.

If you often ejaculate during regular sexual life, multiple times a week or even multiple times a night, or if you ejaculate whenever you have sexual desire, it is pathological ejaculation. Pathological ejaculation may be caused by the following reasons: psychological factors, such as lack of sexual knowledge and excessive focus on sexual issues, which put the cerebral cortex in a state of continuous sexual excitement and induce ejaculation; excessive fatigue, such as excessive physical or mental labor can also induce ejaculation; inflammatory stimulation, such as balanitis, seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis can also lead to spermatorrhea; local stimulation, such as tight clothes and heavy bedding during sleep that stimulate the external genitalia can also induce spermatorrhea, etc.
