What is Night Ejaculation (Ehtelam, احتلام)?
Night ejaculation, also known as wet dreams (Ehtelam, احتلام) or nocturnal emissions, refers to the involuntary release of semen during sleep. This phenomenon is common among adolescent males due to hormonal changes but can also occur in adults. While generally considered normal, excessive night ejaculation may lead to distress or discomfort.
Is Night Ejaculation Normal?
Yes, night ejaculation is a natural part of male sexual development. It typically starts during puberty, around the ages of 12 to 16, when testosterone levels rise. As men age, the frequency of nocturnal emissions decreases, but occasional occurrences in adulthood are not a cause for concern. However, if wet dreams become excessive and lead to physical weakness or distress, medical attention may be necessary.
Causes of Night Ejaculation (Ehtelam, احتلام)
Several factors contribute to night ejaculation, including:
- Hormonal Changes: Increased testosterone levels during puberty can trigger nocturnal emissions.
- Erotic Dreams: Sexual dreams may stimulate the brain and body, leading to ejaculation.
- Sexual Abstinence: Long periods without sexual activity can lead to increased nocturnal emissions as the body naturally releases excess sperm.
- Stress and Anxiety: Psychological stress and anxiety can contribute to the frequency of wet dreams.
