A member asked:

Can very frequent nocturnal emissions cause eppydimitis? how can i stop it if i am single and don't want to masturbate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nocturnal Emissions: or wet dreams are perfectly normal. There is no correlation with epididymitis. You do not need to masturbate, there are religious reasons for not doing so and some people as you may have personal preference. Others do and that is ok as well. It should not affect your health either way.
