    Why did you wake up when you ejaculated in the middle of the night?

    It is normal to wake up suddenly from nocturnal emissions in the middle of the night.

    1. Male erection and maintenance of sexual life are controlled by parasympathetic nerves; orgasm, ejaculation, and penile weakness are controlled by sympathetic nerves.

    2. During sleep at night, the parasympathetic nerves are in a dominant position, so penile erection is particularly obvious during sleep. Nocturnal emissions can sometimes be induced by stimulation from dreams and penile erection.

    Once ejaculation occurs, the sympathetic nerves will be excited. Moreover, after ejaculation, the stimulation of the perineum by semen will alert the human body and also excite the sympathetic nerves. Sympathetic nerve excitement can cause people to wake up suddenly.

    What harm does spermatorrhea do to the body?

    Generally speaking, nocturnal emissions are divided into two phenomena: physiological nocturnal emissions and pathological nocturnal emissions. As men enter puberty, they will experience the phenomenon of semen overflowing. If they do not have sex, the nocturnal emissions are infrequent, and there is no physical weakness after the nocturnal emissions, these are normal nocturnal emissions. If married male friends experience frequent nocturnal emissions and fatigue, they must pay close attention to it. This is probably caused by kidney deficiency.

    Normal nocturnal emissions are not harmful to the body. Nocturnal emissions refer to the ejaculation phenomenon of male friends when they have no sexual activities. The manifestations of nocturnal emissions include nocturnal emissions and ejaculation. Nocturnal emissions are accompanied by nocturnal emissions during sleep, and ejaculation occurs when they are awake. Unmarried young men all have nocturnal emissions. Once a month or once or twice a week is a normal physiological phenomenon.

    However, we would like to remind everyone here that people who have too frequent nocturnal emissions will often suffer from back pain, excessive sweating, and tinnitus. Frequent nocturnal emissions will also make male friends feel depressed, have memory loss, insomnia, and dreaminess, and cannot concentrate, which will have a great impact on their normal life and work. If the phenomenon of nocturnal emissions is not relieved for a long time, it will also cause men to develop prostate diseases, which can seriously cause male infertility.
