NIGHTFALL IN MEN
INTRODUCTION:
Nightfall in men means ejaculation of sperm at night while sleeping or in the early morning.
As the penis emits seminal fluid doctors call it as nocturnal emission. It occurs due to the
over production of sperms and stress. It is an involuntary sperm ejaculation when asleep.
This is happening because of too much exposure to sexual content and lack of sexual activity.
Nightfall is very common in youngsters and it slowly fades with age. Nightfall can also occur
because of nervous damage such as an injury in spinal cord, brain tumor and multiple
sclerosis. In bedwetting cases, a person urinates on a bed without being known to him where
there are some issues in the nervous system which fails to send or receive signals to the brain.

the tendency to clear the reservoir of sperms in adult men. Still frequent occurrences of
wet
dreams
may have some negative effect on
the body
as
it
can make a
person weak physically, mentally as well as sexually. Is nightfall a disease? NO! The
Nightfall problem or wet dreams is common in adolescent boys and as a result of erotic
fantasies. While nightfall in boys and night discharge is extremely regular (and good) at
least two times a month, studies say that nightfall with a higher frequency - more than
two times a month is alarming.
Nightfall side effects:
Restlessness, difficulties in urination, insomnia, night sweats and knee pain.
SYMPTOMS:
 Early discharge
 Burning sensation after urination
 Dribbling of semen
 Leg or back pain
CONCLUSION:
The frequency of nocturnal emissions varies tremendously. Some say it's because
they've been sexually inactive for 1–2 weeks and haven't engaged in either
intercourse or masturbation. The frequency of experiencing nightfall in men
usually decreases with age and/or with marriage, according to studies. Some males
experience emissions only after puberty, while others experience them during their
lives. No definitive relation has been established between the frequency of
nocturnal emissions and the frequency of masturbation.
The amount of nocturnal emissions a man has is influenced by whether or not he
uses testosterone-based medications. A study found that as testosterone levels were
raised, the number of boys reporting nocturnal emissions increased dramatically,
from 17 percent of subjects with no medication to 90 percent of subjects at a high
dose. Nightfall causes 13% of males to have their first ejaculation. According to a
study, males who had their first ejaculation through nocturnal emission were older
than those who had their first ejaculation through masturbation. So it can be cured
by normal changes in lifestyle and some therapies. If the occurrences of nightfall is
frequent consulting doctor is recommended.
