Frequent wet dreams are a sign of erectile dysfunction?

I often have wet dreams at night, sometimes two or three times. Am I sick and can frequent wet dreams cause erectile dysfunction? (Son, 22 years old, Da Nang ).

Wet dreams are the phenomenon of ejaculation during sleep, mainly at night but can also occur during short naps during the day. This is a normal physiology of men, does not harm health and will gradually disappear.

Wet dreams mainly occur in adolescence, between the ages of 9 and 19, marking the reproductive maturity of a man. Wet dreams can occur in adult men who have not had sex or masturbated for a long time, helping to release some of the sperm produced in the body. Wet dreams can also occur in cases of stimulation before and during sleep, such as watching "adult" movies. Men with physical weakness, nervous tension or alcohol and stimulant abuse can also have wet dreams.

This phenomenon appears once or twice a month and will gradually disappear with adulthood or regular sexual activity.

Wet dreams too many times a day or too often can cause nutritional deficiencies, body weakness, fatigue due to too much sperm being released. This causes the testicles not to have enough time to produce, which can make the sperm weaker and less in number. Too many wet dreams without treatment can lead to ejaculation disorders such as premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation or erectile dysfunction.

If the wet dreams do not improve and affect your health and psychology, you should see a doctor for early diagnosis and timely treatment.
