Seminal emission refers to ejaculation occurring outside of sexual intercourse. It is common among unmarried adolescents and is considered a normal physiological phenomenon, typically occurring 4 to 8 times per month. However, if seminal emission remains frequent despite regular sexual activity after marriage, or if it occurs excessively in unmarried individuals—even triggering with mere sexual desire—it is considered pathological. There are two main causes of pathological seminal emission. The first is a lack of proper sexual knowledge, influenced by pornographic materials, leading to frequent preoccupation with sexual thoughts, persistent erotic impulses, or the habit of masturbation. The second is certain genital diseases, such as phimosis, posterior urethritis, verumontanitis, or prostatitis, which cause local irritation and induce seminal emission.

Diagnosis 1. Examination of the reproductive system for the presence of phimosis and redundant prepuce, urethral discharge; examination of the prostate and its tuina fluid; if necessary, seasonal epidemic urethroscopy to rule out diseases of the reproductive system.

2. Understand the circumstances, frequency of seminal emission, and the mental state after its occurrence, as well as the presence of neurasthenic symptoms.

1. Conduct correct sexual knowledge education, consciously resist pornographic publications, and overcome excessive focus on sexual issues and the bad habit of masturbation.

2. Treat reproductive system diseases that cause seminal emission.

3. Appropriately use some female hormones to reduce sexual excitement. Commonly used is diethylstilbestrol 0.5–1mg, orally, 3 times/day.
